Sure Markus, could be also from as horse armour. The Legion in Potaissa was the Leg V Macedonia, being from 166 - 274 in Potaissa. As seen in Wikipedia they have fought as a mobile cavalry unit the campaign against Ingenuus in 260.
The following link is from the local museum. If I translate the text with an online translator, it just says: "The fragment shows the neck over the shoulder neckline and slightly back", which sounds for me to be human used. The size of the scales may give a hint, but this is missing in the short text. Maybe someone has one of the mentioned books?
