Segmentata in the Eastern provinces

[Flavivs Aetivs]

Several battle sites from the Jewish War have yielded remains of lorica segmentata

Aha! Good - thanks. Although we have the problem, with the Jewish war(s) specifically, that large numbers of troops were brought into the area from precisely those parts of the empire where segmentata are better attested!

I suppose what we'd need are finds from permanent legion camps like Caparcotna - or the sites in Syria, but the chances of finding anything there at the moment are slight...

Most of the Caparcotna fortress has yet to be excavated, so there could be far more. I don't think they've even excavated the ditches around the fort yet; the Romans threw garbage in those ditches like at Vindolanda all the time, so that's where we would probably find the best stuff.
