Top Back Plate Question on Segmentata

[Quintius Clavus]

Corbridge is a place in the north of England, eastern side, and the Corbridge Hoard was a box full of artifacts found at Corbridge. The items, which had presumably been left for repair at the armorer, had been carefully packed for transport, then, for some unknown reason, left behind. Of course, the Romans with their usual thoroughness, buried the box and its contents. It is the fact of several sections of the armor we know as the lorica segmentata being found in the box, which made it such a phenomenal find!
When I was in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1978, I took a photo of the originals of a shoulder unit and girdle section, which were on display in the local museum - Yes, a picture of some rusted iron with corroded copper alloy fittings/hinges/buckles. I am very pleased it turned out.
