Thought it very interesting particularly the date given, here's the publication page if you have trouble finding it there's quite a bit on the Karanis excavations to download from the various series:

Also this page on conservation of the armour has colour pics not in the reports, though theres no colour control:

Not sure if I agree with it being torso armour as I think the neck size and closure is critical, assuming its the front.

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
