Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:Amidst an Iron Age hoard discovered in Norfolk, England, crews recovered an animal-headed Celtic battle trumpet—an exceedingly rare find across Europe.

The strength of the boar was symbolic enough for Celtic warriors 2,000 years ago to craft it onto battle trumpets and military standards. Archaeologists in Norfolk, England, found examples of both together ahead of work on a residential construction project. The 2,000-year-old trumpet, known as a carnyx, was commonly used by Celtic tribes across Europe to inspire warriors during battle.
