Painted lorica segmentata ?

[Sulla]

Not really I just ment none of us have absolute knowledge. You state it as an absolute fact. "There is absolutely no evidence that lorica segmentata was ever painted. ". I just ment to modify it with a qualifier. To be more accurate there is absolutely no evidence of it that you know of. But it is possible there is some you do not know of however unlikely. Thats all not saying you do not know a lot of about Rome and Roman armor. Just that at least there is a slight chance there is evidence you have not seen. Didnt mean it as an insult or to disregard your expert knowledge etc.
