Squamata Scale Help

[Doc]

I have decided that in order to complete my various armor types, that I would like to make my own squamata. I would like however to use small scales. The scales that I know of on the really small side are the ones that are pointed (I think Newstead). But these are in the second century and I need first century small or smallest scales.


However, I know that there is a rather small scale (rounded on the bottom) with five holes and a mid-rib. The holes are located one above the rib and two on either side of the rib.

The problem is that I do not have the size of this scale nor the thickness. Can someone please help me with the dimensions and thickness IF such a scale exists.

Help much appreciated.

Under a different thread, someone mentioned that the scale found at Burrium (Usk)was First C. I have a couple of photographs of it in the museum but sadly no scale attached! (Caerleon museum are VERY good and allow photographs for personal use/study/research but I think even they would have drawn a line at me blu-tacking my scale to their display cabinet!)

I also have a picture from Corbridge museum (pointed scale) but I don't know which C this is supposed to be from (and may be more of the Newstead type).

If they are of interest, please PM me.
