Unearthed in Dorset, a spiky Roman caltrop—a brilliantly brutal ancient weapon. Crafted with four sharp points, it ensured one always pointed up, posing a painful risk to enemy soldiers and cavalry. Used in battles, these sneaky tools were seriously effective. #RomanHistory #Caltrop #AncientWeapon #MilitaryHistory #Dorset #Archaeology | Keys DAN

The spookiest nuts ever- water caltrops! I am so obsessed with these! Water caltrops are cool because they grow completely under water! To me these look like a mix of a gargoyle and a bat. The coolest part is that they meet inside is completely edible. The texture is similar to water chestnuts and the flavor is like an earthier slightly swampy flavored water chestnut in a good way 😍 I like these tossed in spicy garlic sauce for a spooky treat 👻 #reels | Soozie the Foodie
