Corbridge Loricae

[Matt Lukes]

I'm just wondering if anyone can point me toward actual papers written on the subject of the Lorica segmentatae found in the so-called 'Corbridge Hoard'. From the various websites around I've learned the basics of how the armor was reconstructed and I've found lots of good images of the artifacts themselves, but I'm quite curious to read what historians have written about them. Web-based stuff would be most-preferrable, if any is available. Journal articles that I can look up in university libraries would be excellent as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
