As curator of the Celts exhibition, I got to spend a lot of time showing people wonderful Iron Age treasures. Some of my favourites were the big metal neck rings called torcs that were worn across much of Europe (and beyond) around 2000 years ago. One of the things I was asked most often is, ‘But how did you put them on?!’ It’s a very good question, seeing as they often look like solid metal rings with nowhere near enough space to squeeze your neck through.

How interesting! I have often asked myself that very question…:-) Thank you for this piece.

I have also asked this question. Thank you for this piece and link to British Museum. Fascinating and fuels desire to learn more.
