Chainmail:any evidence for NON-riveted
#22
Quote:In [hide]Cross Channel relations in the British later Iron Age[/hide] Andrew Peter Fitzpatrick adresses the possible origins of the Lexden Tumulus chainmail (p. 332-337).
Fitzpatrick is cautious about the possibility of the mail being a Roman lorica hamata and, although he later (p.514) alludes to the possibility of some of the material from Lexden being diplomatic gifts, he does not do so specifically in relation to the armour. Is there evidence elsewhere of Roman mail being secured by buckles?
