inveresk man face roman scotland reconstruction

He Wasn’t a Soldier. He Couldn’t Swing a Sword. Now Roman Scotland Has His Face.

National Museums Scotland unveiled a facial reconstruction on 20 October 2026 of a man who died at Inveresk between AD 140 and 165 — born in southern Britain, broken-nosed, his right arm ruined, his teeth worn from gripping objects. His skull goes on display 14 November, beside a likeness his friends, curators say, would have recognised.
