palaeolithic hand axe, join Dr Simon Elliott FSA and Richard Taylor FSA in a
discussion about the fabulous Roman collection in Maidstone Museum's Lives in Our
Landscape gallery on 23 rd September at 7pm.
Hear the story of Roman Kent and its wider importance in Roman Britain through the
spectacular artefacts of the show. Simon and Richard will guide you through
highlights, including the beautiful Plaxtol Minerva statue, a very high-quality child's
lead coffin complete with shroud remains, the Pudding Pan Rock Samian ware
