Quote:I believe we have found several examples of segmentata in Spain where we know only light infantry was stationed.
Legion VII Gemina were based at Leon in Spain for several hundred years, with VI Victrix and X Gemina before them. The last dated find of lorica segmentata actually comes from Leon - from around AD300.
