Size....

[Anonymous]

Spent a very happy weekend in South Wales, and managed to get some time in the Caerleon Roman Legionary Museum. Couple of things caught my eye:-<br>
-Enamelled belt fasteners- never seen these re-created<br>
-The tiny size of the scale and mail. I couldn't measure then as they were under glass, but I'd estimate the mail to be c 1 cm diameter and the scales to be about the same length. The remains are all fused together, but I'd welcome any other comments?<br>

1cm OD for roman maille sounds right. Even smaller sizes were frequently used. <p></p><i></i>

We tend to use a standard size of 4mm internal (ie: about 6mm external) diameter in the R.M.R.S.<br>
