Byron wrote "Thanks Paul, was wondering what other evidence there was for these, apart from the Carlilse find."
I'm not aware of any other scale gorget finds (though there is a solid gorget find shown in Bishop and Coulston, and also the possible parallel of gladiator protection). In sculpture the Alba Iulia statue is ambiguous, but I suspect is a scale coif?
So at this moment, the Carlisle find may be the only one.....for the moment!
