Quick Repair of Torn Strap in Lorica Segmentata?

[Renius]

Thanks alot Dean. It looks real simple after seeing your drawing. Easy and excellent fix as I was always going to have extra leather strips with me anyways. I hope to one day have you make a helmet for me as they look astounding. If you ever feel the uncontrollable desire to wear Roman kit in a group setting for a day or what ever, I'm in a newly forming group(3 members thus far) doing mid 1st century legionary impressions. We will be making our NW public debut next spring.

Here is a very crude illustration of what I mean. Just a leather strip or thong tied like i've indicated.

That deserves a laus!

The thanks goes out to Sean from Hispana! A really good field expedient repair always finds it's way around. This is one of the no brainer really good repairs that anyone can pull off.
