I am sorry Mike, I do not have information on the Carlisle find, and you are teasing me.
http://www.armamentaria.com/store/index ... 2870bea195 is a good product and can be used for other periods as well. Butted mail is becoming rather passe. This subject was also considered in <!-- l <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5460&start=100">viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5460&start=100<!-- l which is worth a read.

Much muttering of 'residual' at the time (more interesting for its hinge than its context) but it apparently came from 'an early 4th century' deposit in the intervallum area beneath Tullie House museum (an extension added in 1989). It assumed a new significance in the light of the León finds. Mike Bishop

Well, thanks for that. I thought that was 3rd century. I am now pacing around the house as one who is feeling as if the certainties upon which his world is based have been undermined.........
It will be leather armour next.

No, it would look bad.
The idea of cheap equipment from an age of poor paid, barely professional soldiers surviving into our age of disciplined well equipped proffessional soldiers is too horrible to contemplate. It is like Britain without aicraft carriers, or the aircraft to fly from them. Impossible!

So ridge helm and lorica seg....I take it only a Newstead will do?

It will be interesting to see what period the new armour finds from Caerleon (Priory Fields digs, Summer 2010) date to:
