Segmentata patterns, diagrams, drawings.

[Dagann]

Hello.

I want to finish my 3d legionary and planning to make more from other periods.
So i need drawings, diagrams and specifically patterns of segmentata.
I have looked for with the search engine, but it seems to find nothing.
I have already a few of them from MC Bishop (Newstead) and from the larp website, but are there others i could get?

Thanks

Try to locate a copy of Russel Robinson - Armor of Imperial Rome, in an (university) library nearby and take a look at the drawings in there.

Well, Robinson will be hard to find, and you have to remember that the drawings in it (actually by Peter Connolly) are so old that they have some mistakes in them. Mistakes which continue to haunt us to this day! There's a better "exploded view" in Connolly's "The Legionary" (though it isn't a very big illustration).

If you want the raw data, try tracking down a copy of the Corbridge excavation report, as well as the two books on Lorica Segmentata, Volume 1 by Mike Bishop and Volume 2 by Mike Thomas. Those will show you most of what we know, though they don't include more recent finds such as Stillfried.

Most finds of lorica parts are very fragmentary, so those you have already seen are the bulk of the information that we have!

Vale,

Matthew

Thanks for your answers.

So until now, the best seems the diagrams from the Mc Bishop and larp websites.

I was already thinking about getting the 2 books of the segmentata , but they appear to be very difficult to find or very expensive.

Take a look at the Legio XX website under their Segmentata section. They have drawing for the Kalkarise, Corbridge A and B, and Newstead patterns. They even have drawings of the attachments to the lorica.
