This is a pic of the segmentata of Gaius Britannicus Graccus of Legio IX Hispana (USA) at the SCA's recent Estrella War in Arizona USA<br>
<br>
Note the dent on the back of the left shoulder.... delivered by a simulated sword of solid rattan, 1 1/4" in diameter (no padding)<br>
<br>
The fully doubled lobate hinge of .20 brass was not hardened after annealing... it remains somewhat soft and pliant.<br>
<br>
The "T" hinge on the other side replaced an earlier lobate hinge that suffered a similar fate at a prior event.<br>
<br>
Britannicus was wearing a subarmalis, shoulders padded to about 1/2" thick. His skin showed no apparent bruising from the blow though he was slightly sore for a few days after.<br>
