Sorry Ross,
It was actually the late lamented Mr McBride I was thinking of when I wrote that. I also did not mean my mention of the Newstead segmentata as anything personal. Until Bishop published on the subject neither I nor you or anyone else not closely connected with Mike Bishop would have known that Newstead armour had three part main shoulder guards. I was simply pointing it out for anyone wishing to base an impression on what is, as I said, probably a pretty good representation of a soldier in the middle of the second century AD. Sorry if I touched a justifiably raw nerve. :oops:
