## Resource

A war trumpet shaped like a snarling animal head, buried for nearly 2,000 years, has just been pulled out of the ground in Britain—and it may connect directly to the people who fought Rome under Boudicca. In this episode, Bernie and Garry unpack the discovery, the culture behind it, and the role of sound, fear, and spectacle in Iron Age warfare. Because sometimes, the most powerful weapon isn’t what you swing—it’s what you hear coming.
