New goodies from the Roman Museum Augsburg

[caiusbeerquitius]

Two sleeves of Roman chainmail, 3rd century.
The sleeves were 3/4 length. Pic of one of them:


Parts from the City wall´s parapet. The battlements were obviously
L-shaped to offer more protection.

3rd century chapes, a knob for a ring belt-buckle, a cavalry-spatha blade (no pic, looks boring, but visible in pic 1 as brown stripe in front of the objects, fromleft to right...) and a breast-plate fragment:

It's not too bad Matt. Luckily there's Romanarmy.com to collect as many photos of all those nice things in European museums together.

Hi Christian

I think the walls at Chester, DEVA, had the same parapet design in the third century rebuild of the fortress walls.

Oh I'm very thankful that I can see these things thanks to you guys and the Internet at large- I'd just love to be able to go to a museum and see them myself
