The question of whether the Romans actually tinned segmentatae popped up already several times - but I have to ask it again, sorry boys! :oops:
Allegedly, there is evidence for tinning on some of the Kalkriese plates. Does anybody have references for this?
The next question probably belongs into 'reenactment and reconstruction', but I did not want to start two new threads at the same time:
whoever has got a tinned segmentata, what have been your long-term experiences? Does the tin layer rub off, and if yes, where? How effectively does the tinning keep rust away?
Thank you!
