Good article on getting into the Newstead Lorica. I look forward to checking out the photos once you post them on your site. Very interested in seeing it, step by step.<br>
<br>
I, too, read the hypothesis in Mike Bishop's "Lorica Segmentata Vol. 1" about donning the lorica segmentata over the head like a hamata. It has a certain attraction to me, since I am often alone for local presentations. Though, I must add, getting help from a member of the audience allows at least one person iin the audience to feel its weight.<br>
<br>
Being that I own a Corbridge B, has anyone tried the over-the- head method with any of the Corbridge types? I am interested in any reports comparing stress to hinges which are, to say the least, delicate, between the methods of donning it.<br>
