Just imagine making 4000+ scales including drilling or punching 6 holes in each, then attaching them in rows, sewing the rows to a linen garment, then do all the leather edging...

Thanks for those pictures Peronis. They are in every way better than the somewhat blurry images I got of Svavis' new armour at the Lunt. And yes I agree - it is a thing of great beauty. The long and (somewhat) impatient wait is over.

Salve,
I've seen a few different squamata patterns.
1. With shoulder doubling, same pattern as a basic hamata with houlder doubling
2. Without shoulder doubling but with some kind of circular collar
3. The pattern as seen in this post. With shoulder doubling but with a short waist and with built in 'tongue pteruges'
Are all of these patterns suitable for the first century AD? Would the last pattern have been reserved for officers? What does the evidence say?
Vale,
Jef
