Known specimens of lorica plumata
#18
Well, it is interesting that the only finding in a decent state apparently comes from a Thrax prince of the first century.
From the conclusions: Above all, the information available is often inconsistent, impeding the general study of these loricae
as a group. None of the sources give allthe relevant measurements of all the elements that make up the armour,making comparison difficult.


From what read, from the described findings it is quite difficult to reconstruct the real form, and even the interpretation of the decent finding is showing scales that are much larger than the ones of the finding. So, we don't have a real reconstruction of this lorica. At least from this paper.

Anyway, the paper is interesting, thanks.
