Dan.
I think that I have to disagree with you where you say it is highly unlikely for indeed you earlier mention that you think it right for Sim and Kaminsky to suggest that the Romans had rolled plate.
It is I am sure so much easier to use cuttings from already rolled plate that has produced the scales than to always assume they went to the trouble of making only drawn flat strip for to link them together. In fact as I have mentioned about how scales may have been made and by the method I use of punching them out there would be strips from such sheet already there for the purpose of linking them.
