Yesterday I watched on tv the "official" worlwide presentation (during a trash-scientific program called "Voyager").
Also to me these decorations seem very strange, a mix of roman and not roman suff.
It was claimed by the professor that is studying the armour thta this armour is completely made of brass, not bronze.
Pteruges are probably a fake. They are in brass too, but they seem 6 pugios or better dagas with the handgrip turned upside down in order to hang them somewhere.
C14 analysis have yet to be done....
Very strange find, but interesting.
