Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor
#26
Ok, this is an oriental armor. Used at least in the eastern part of the empire. Known by Romans, maybe used by them.

We found at Carnuntum some plates that could have been used for a lamellar armor (or locked scale, I don't understand quite well the difference for now).

But this image doesn't explain how to realize the leather between two rows of scales. I suggest that maybe the leather was put in between scales, for protection against the bronze wire benting?

In the follow image of a central asian armor, we can see the lacing, ressembling that of the palmyrenean deities. I need to find a scale that complies with the leather lacing and the bronze wire.

Or am I completely wrong?

Maybe, as a Roman reenactor, I shouldn't even try to wear such an armor? But how do you explain scales of Carnuntum with holes on top and on bottom?
