Segmentata in the Eastern provinces

[Nathan Ross]

just look up Prof. Stiebel for one.

I attended Guy Stiebel's lecture in London last year, and he mentioned the Gamala segmentata find then. But, as I mentioned above, this armour was clearly used by a Danubian soldier, not one from the eastern provinces.

There are a few small items from Masada (three tie-loops, three bits of hinge, I think) - interestingly, some were found inside the fortress, suggesting the rebels were using them - and so segmentata was obviously not unknown in the east, but compared to the amount of scale and mail remains from the east, and the number of segmentata finds from the west, there does still seem to be a difference.

Unless I'm missing a large number of recent discoveries from the eastern provinces - how many do you know of?
