New discovery: loricas segmentatas Leon, Spain

[Iagoba]

I have just found a PDF in Spanish with some info and a photo of a piece of hamata and 3 photos of squamata. The newspapers showed photos of remains of segmentata years ago, but there are no photos of it in this document.

Pages 39,40,91. The red oval on the page 40 shows where the armours were found.

If it were still being produced down to say, 250 some may not have been too far gone in the 4rth century. Btw Spain is pretty dry, which have have minimized the rust problem and prolonged the usefulness of the armor. mile:

Sorry, my friend, but Leon is in north and is in the "wet Spain" (some places from Spain are more simillar to Ireland than to the Mediterranean), near of Atlantic Ocean. Knowing this place I don't think it would be survive to the corrosion for a long time.
