None, are you very sure?
Dan, you very succinctly assumed a similar construction on the Mars of Todi. I think you will not find it a daring assumption to see a similarity with the armours shown on Neo-Assyrian palace reliefs from the 7th century BCE. And you will probably agree we have found very little trace of the Roman period military machine in the Levant as far as armour and weaponry is concerned (of any period for that matter).
As I said, I wil try to find more recent finds of lamellae from Niniveh, but I am somewhat amazed this is a closed book to you.
