So, when have the Romans ever needed a *reason* to put hinges on something? Belts, for instance, or hinges on the shoulders of a lorica segmentata? "We could just make this plate bigger to fit that area, but heck, let's just use a couple smaller ones with a hinge, eh?" Proves it's Roman...
Could they be clasps, like the hinges at the sides of a muscle cuirass?
The lack of coverage doesn't bother me--a small piece of armor means that area is protected, not that the rest is more vulnerable than before. And of course there is a lot missing!
Wacky pieces, that's for sure!
