Girdle plates in Stillfried, Austria - richsc - 04-07-2016
My effort to map out all the museums with Roman military artifacts just turned up a surprise in the museum in Stillfried, Austria. As far as I can tell this isn't mentioned in the website, but if you look in the display case in the back of the room, you see several girdle plates:

Just what I could glean from the site no mention as far as I can see in "Lorica Segmentata II" M.D.Thomas..
Der Stillfrieder Spangenpanzer:
"Roman armour in bronze and iron – lorica squamata - and three fragments of lorica segmentata, a sword scabbard, a dagger with sheath as well as fragments of helmets remained from the roman occupation."
an Email might get a result as I get the impression its a relatively recent find, at least the left hand pics seem to show the armour in situ...

It wouldn't have been, I'm afraid. LS II only contained items which had been published and at the time the Stillfried girdle plates had not been so

Ciao Richard.
I went to get a (top secret) preview of that together with Jasper Oorthuys and Jenny Cline in Mainz in 2002.
Stillfried segmentata was found in 2000 in Austria far I remember.
I can say that those two (?) loricas are incredible. They have just a little bit of rust and the metal seems just an old object, not an ancient one.
Stillfried loricas have not shoulder pieces far I remember, but only girdle loops and I remember a very important detail: there are hooks probably to support the balteus (cingulum militaris).
