scale/lamellar armour
#8
Nadeem Ahmad knows more than I do.

The Dura fragments are gigantic, they're 50cm by 70cm, there's no way they were for a person unless it was Centurion Thunder Thighs. David Nicolle proposes this in "A companion to medieval arms and armor." One of his few books that actually has citations.

And like Crispianus said, the neckhole for the Karanis collar is about 40cm wide, which again is too large for a person.
