Roman repairs last the distance - World - theage.com.au: "Archaeologists in Germany say they have found a 2000-year-old glue that Roman warriors used to repair helmets, shields and other accessories of battle.
'Caesar's Superglue' — as it has been dubbed by the co-workers of the Rhine State Museum in Bonn — was found on a helmet at a site near Xanthen on the Rhine River where Romans settled before Christ.
'We found that the parade cavalry helmet had been repaired with an adhesive that was still doing its job,' said restorer Frank Willer."
