Title
Roman fragment of plate armour
Description
English: A fragment of a copper-alloy with iron plate armour or lorica segmentata representing one half of a lobate hinge. The opposing half and the bronze pin that would have hinged the two halves is missing. The mount is an inverted pelta-shape with three lobes leading from the narrow tip of the pelta. There are two copper alloy rivets on the expanded end of the pelta and one rivet in the centre of each of the three lobes. Around each of the rivets are stamped concentric circles. There is a small fragment of copper alloy emerging from the curved edge of the pelta, the remains of a hinge. Attached to the reverse of the mount is a square piece of scale armour. The copper alloy has a mid green patina. The mount is very similar to one found in a hoard from Santon, Norfolk that was dated to the mid 1st century AD, the 50s and 60s (Spratling 1975: 206-207). Dimensions: length: 31.08mm; width: 29.60mm; weight: 9.04g. Reference: Spratling, M. 1975. Fragments of Lorica Segmentata in the hoard from Santon, Norfolk. In Britannia Volume 6. pp. 206-207.
