Chainmail:any evidence for NON-riveted

[Dan Howard]

Thanks for the fast replies.I need evidence from the A.D. centuries,the best would be,as i said,3rd or 4th century.I hope someone can help me out from the would-be answeres.

There is none, not in a Roman context nor any other. All mail that I know of from that period consists of alternating rows of riveted and solid links. However, the commercially available riveted mail looks terrible - it doesn't even remotely resemble Roman mail. If you aren't comfortable making your own riveted links then you would actually get a better looking hamata by using butted and solid links.
