Bronze Lorica Segmentata

[mcbishop]

Please, does anybody know about the name of the article by Vagalinsky published in Archaeologia Bulgarica 1999-1, which talks about the bronze fragment of LS of type Corbridge A? I need it for my work and need complet citation.

Btw this is very interesting issue, so we can discuss about it. This found is also mentioned by D´Amato (arms of the Roman soldier from Marius to Commodus) when he published his theories, and also notes that bronze version is also dipicted in Domus Aurea frescos of soldier.

This reference is confused (volume 3 of Archaeologia Bulgarica is 1999 and there is no article listed on segmentata by Vagalinsky there). There is however in that same volume 'Gentscheva, E.: Neue Angaben bezüglich des Militarlagers von Novae im Unterdonaubecken aus der früheren Kaiserzeit No1' but since I can't get access to the journal I can't tell whether V. has a note on the 'segmentata' in there.

We've been over this before and his interpretation of the bronze armour sounds like armguard fragments from Novae which have already been published by the Poles so, for the time being, copper-alloy segmentata remains a myth.
