Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor
H. Russel Robinson, in his "oriental armour" show a rectangular scale identified as a piece of lamellar armour, found in Doura Europos.

This could be the scale (or lamella)that I need, but I don't really understand the lacing of this for a lamellar armour. It's supposed to stand without a support textile?

Other elements that can help : In Samarkand, we have the Orlat plaques. They are dated Ist century AD.
In these bone plaques, we clearly see lamellar armours.

Those armours are really different from those of Palmyra tough. But it's the good era, in a "not soOOoo far" country.
