Does anyone know if this piece is in fact a fragment of Lorica Segmentata? I was told that it is, one that was possibly damaged in battle, but I have also heard differing opinions. One person noted that the hinges on this type of armour were usually made of a different material than the plate, which doesn't seem to be the case with this piece. It is roughly 5cm in width.

Any help would be great!
