Aha! Good - thanks. Although we have the problem, with the Jewish war(s) specifically, that large numbers of troops were brought into the area from precisely those parts of the empire where segmentata are better attested!
I suppose what we'd need are finds from permanent legion camps like Caparcotna - or the sites in Syria, but the chances of finding anything there at the moment are slight...
