etruscan lamellar armour

[Duncan Head]

The pattern I think is more suitable to Mars of Todi armour is that in fig. 5 on http://members.ozemail.com.au/~chrisandp...ellar.html
what do you think about?

Well, the band of lacing or edging between the rows certainly matches. But the Byzantine example still appears to have one small stretch of lacing visible on the outer surface of the plates, which neither the Mars of Todi nor the other Etruscan examples seem to have, so I am not wholly convinced.
