Quote:Looking at the sizes of the scales can provide a hint as to whether something is horse armor or not. To my knowledge the scales found to be associated with horse armor are much larger than those found for use by men. I am not saying that small scales could not be used for horse armor BUT the evidence suggests that large scales (I think 2x the size but I will leave the measurments to cavalry armor experts) are more in- line with horse armor.

Again, I defer to those with an expertise in cavalry equipment.

Also, (and I'm thinking of the finds from Dura as I write this)I have the feeling iron scales tend also to be horse armor related. Just a gut feeling due to their size. Smile
