I have the Vindonissa catalog, but at the moment its on long term loan to someone, and I cannot access it easily.

What are the dimensions of some of the largest plain plates found?

Paul,

Here you go - this is the only page from the catalog with plain plates.

Pretty small for food plates, these must be for belts, right?

Does anyone know if any of these plain belt plates were used aprox. 120-200
A.D, and that they would fit with the Newstead lorica? What is their material?

The text on the bottom of that page states they're out of bronze.
