AA15.37. 134 grams total, 29-43mm (1 - 1 3/4"). From a North Yorkshire collection formed since the 1980s; thence by descent. The rare fragment of the lobate hinge of the shoulder protection of a laminated lorica corresponds to the well known Newstead typology, in use from the late 1st century AD until the early 4th century AD, and in some provinces, like Hispania, still possibly employed at the beginning of the 5th century AD.
