The Caerleon Annual Birthday Lecture - mcbishop - 10-05-2013
For those who are interested, the lecture is now available as a podcast for streaming or download. If you're not interested, it doesn't really matter, does it?

Many thanks for this Mike- and for warning about the Spitfire engine at the beginning. It did sound as if you'd decided to make a quick getaway!
Did I hear you correctly in that in one lorica rather than several thin strips of leather, one wide strip was used?
Cheers

Quote:Did I hear you correctly in that in one lorica rather than several thin strips of leather, one wide strip was used?Yes, it's Cuirass 5 in the Hoard (p.39 in the report) where the backplates are held together by one large sheet of leather. I called it the 'original leathering' in the text but I now think that was a poor choice of words as I suspect that it is most likely to be a repair, given the ubiquity of narrow straps elsewhere amongst the armour.
