Quote:If in the meantime anyone who has made both hamata (solid and riveted rings) and segmentata could shed any light on how long each one took to make that would be most appreciated.

I can only speak for the segmentata of which by now I have built 4 or 5. It takes me about 40 hours to make a complete one, using modern tools, starting from sheet metal (for both steel and brass) and a leather hide.
Cheers,
Martin
