guy Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) In 2018, over 400 iron fragments were discovered at Kalkriese, Germany, the site of the Varus defeat at the Teutoburg Forest Battle. These fragments were recently reassembled, revealing a nearly complete set of lorica segmentata made of 30 plates. It is believed that the armor was well-preserved due to its participation in a triumph ritual. Currently, it is on display for the first time in a new exhibit at Kalkriese Museum called “Cold Case: Death of a Legionary.” https://www.kalkriese-varusschlacht.de/museum-park/ausstellungen/cold-case-tod-eines-legionaers.html Here is a reenactor of the 1st century AD armor: Edited June 28 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
