So far, I'm not convinced by what I've read from that 2001 JRMES article. In there, it seems the evidence for late 4th and even early 5th c. remains seem to consist only of some washers and other tiny pieces that could be associated with the lorica segmentata. That alone won't convince me that the segmentata continued to be produced (which is different than just 'used') throughout the 4th c.
Does anybody know of loricae segmentata being shown in, say, late 4th c. artistic representations?
