Spain's Archeology Museum in Madrid - the Military Stuff

I've just posted a YouTube video of the photos I took earlier this year at the Madrid Archeology Museum . 

Unsurprisingly they focus on objects and displays with a vaguely military theme, including Classical & Roman era Iberian armour, weapons and grave goods, Greek artworks, and Successor coinage featuring some of those famous generals you've certainly heard of before.

There's also a medieval Persian helmet, a bit of European medieval wall-art, Visigothic weapons and other stuff, Ptolemaic Egyptian funery gear and a host of other mostly "ancient history" bits and pieces too. 

Accompanying it all is my often staggeringly uneducated and ill-informed commentary, but don't let that put you off, as if it does, just turn the sound down as I also took photos of most of the caption boards that accompany each display as well!

The video is available now https://youtu.be/L1kkzKt1Gl4?si=b9Z5fBBwoQEVOcvF
