Dura Europas finds?
#3
The definitive book came out last year or so, and it ought to be listed somewhere on that site. Especially since Simon James wrote it, I believe. It ain't cheap, unless you can find a "damaged" copy, etc. But I've had a look at it, and it's well worth if if that's your area of interest. (Anyone got the bibliographic information? Might be in the References and Reviews section, actually...)

The Roman bodies (and apparently one Persian) were skeletal, no remaining clothing. Some mail and shield parts were found with them, and I think some weapons, but no helmets. Other shields and goodies were found on other parts of the site, including a padded cap apparently made for wearing under a helmet. No segmentata pieces at all.

Happy reading! Vale,

Matthew
