 M.D. Thomas: Lorica Segmentata, Volume II: A
Catalogue of Finds, JRMES Monograph 2
This volume is the natural companion to
JRMES Monograph 1 (M.C.
Bishop: Lorica Segmentata, Volume I: A Handbook of Roman Plate
Armour) and presents a detailed catalogue of published
examples of lorica segmentata fittings from the entire Roman
empire. Eleven categories of fittings and surviving examples of the
iron plates are included and individually illustrated.
It is the first time that all such fittings have
been gathered under one cover, enabling direct comparison between
items within the various categories. This volume will prove
invaluable to re-enactors and experimental archaeologists, as well
as anybody working in the field of Roman small finds study.
Contents include an introduction, detailed
component catalogues (illustrated with specially-prepared scale
drawings), and a full bibliography.
Since a number of significant finds have recently been made,
but not yet published, purchasers of this volume will be eligible
to receive a PDF update in 2007.
Available now, price £25
An accompanying website (www.loricasegmentata.org)
will provide additional multimedia resources, including colour
photographs of original and reconstructed segmental armour, 3D
models, video clips, plans, and card models.
