Quote:How does that compare with known Roman/other scale armours in metal, either for men or for horses?

Smaller scales believed to be for soldiers was anywhere from 1 x 2.6cm to 1.5x2.8cm from the Dura-Europas examples.

Some of the larger scales clearly meant for horses were from 2.4cm x 3.7cm to 7cm x 4.6cm !!. so significantly larger than the other ones

- Excavations at Duro-Europos by Simon James- final report 2004.

Based on that I would suggest the leather scales were for a horse.
