<em>So, I wouldn't be laughed out of the legio if I made my seg with nine 2 and 1/4 inch plates rather than eight 2 and 1/2 inch plates?</em><br>

You may well be... I just wouldn't be one of those laughing ;-) No examples of lorica seg with nine plates are known as yet, but I would say you could happily make a Corbridge A, B/C, or Newstead with eight. If you want to stick strictly to what is precedented, then it might be wise to avoid nine plates for now and just accept that this is an ever-developing subject.<br>
