This typical armor of the Roman imperial cavalry consists of many small brass plates, similar to fish scales, which are sewn onto a solid leather and canvas vest and intertwined with wire on the longitudinal sides. This construction pattern should prevent the opponent's blades from going through the metal plates. The shape, size and also the material of the scales were very different. In Carnuntum, the capital of the Roman province of Pannonia, more than 30 different forms and types of this type of armor have been found. Our scale armor is the shortened version, which was worn between 100 and 250 AD
