Lorica Squamata closing method

[markusaurelius]

I'm putting together/making display gear for a late Roman soldier, late 4th to early 5th century (spatha and helemt are next). There are no known original finds of squamata with sleeves, however it is abundant in the iconographic evidence of all over the late Roman period.

This is my original thread regarding this armor's creation, research and final product. The details of how the edging was done, based on complete original finds from Britain and Duros are shown.
