Legionary & Auxilia Chain Mail

[sulla felix]

Thanks for posting the picture Ade - interesting thought about mail shirts possibly being buckled at the side(s). One other thought - a detachable doubler makes putting a complete mail shirt on a little easier, although you would need some assistance to buckle up the doubler?

The iron age mail from Sheepen looks like a very small diameter link Ade? Is the context of the find Late Pre-Roman Iron Age or are we talking 1-2 hundred years before the Roman Invasion?
