lorica hamata real weight

[marcos]

I want to share with you an interesting datum about loricae hamata weight, since is not easy to have such an information.

I had the chance to study this lorica hamata and I figured out that it is around the 30-35% of a whole one (I may be wrong, but not by much).
Its weight is 1080 gr. and thus the original weight would be +/- 3,5 kgs. If we add the shoulders covers, total weight may be attested around 4 kg, not more.
Very far from the supposed 8-12 kgs.
