Does anyone have a good picture of the Mars of Todi? That is, as far as I know, the best representation of lamellar in the west.
The Louvre is not the only museum that has Palmyrene gods in lamellar armour, the Londen Museum has a nice relief of Shadrafa, and the Damascus museum (hopefully still) has a relief carving of another, unknown god (Osprey's Rome's Enemies 5: The Desert Frontier page 17, 19).
Timothy, do you you know if remnants of lamellar armour have ever been found further west than the finds in Amathus and Idalion on Cyprus?
