An iconic Roman helmet will go on display at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery in Carlisle this weekend.

The Crosby Garrett helmet dates back to the late 1st Century AD, and was discovered in a field near Kirkby Stephen seven years ago, after which it sold for £2.3 million.

It's on display in Carlisle from 8 April until September, and is part of the Hadrian's Cavalry exhibition, which explores the Roman Empire's links to Cumbria.
