Quote:How much evidence for leather armour may have been lost in the past or lie unrecognized in museum collections? How many of today's archaeologists would recognize pieces of leather Roman armour if they saw it? Especially if the modern academic view is that it did not exist at all and that anyone who might think that it does is quite mad.Cause the leather worked armour was a theory of the last century (or better the one before the last...) i bet there arent many leather parts unknown of this founding time.

And in the last 20-40 years, the foundings were published in "Jahrbüchern" and similar, so, everyone who is looking for that is EASIEST able to find it.
And i cant tell you, how many works are overwritten with "the leather work of" of "the leather findings of".
So there is a chance a "leather lorica" part is overseen, but this chance seems to me like a Lotto win.
