Roman Leather Lamellae Scales from Karanis, Egypt
#26
to Aetius, Nathan, and Dan,

Fairly hard to tell WHO made it. Throughout the East, this style of armor was "generic." The only difference was the placement of the holes for sewing. Maybe it belonged to a totally lost Korean wandering across the desert. As a member of Legio III Cyrenaica, I'd like to think it might have been Roman. But the owner is long dead. :dizzy:

I always wanted a set of combo armor-- lamellar and scale. It was made for me by Lykia and shipped from Poland back on August 13th. It never made it here to Maine, lost now in the mail for three weeks. :x
