Roman copper alloy lorica segmentata lobate hinge
Poorly preserved, but still attached to fragmentary iron plate. Traces of two lugs for attachment to the axial bar, and four rivet holes. There is a central triangular piercing with what appears to be an iron rivet in one corner, possibly a repair. A delicate looking example comparable to 99.47H.
