Tying it all together
The Newstead type lorica segmentata represents one of the lesser understood forms of Roman segmented armour. Despite more than a century of research, the method of fastening, particularly the closure of the breast and back plates, has remained uncertain. This study reassesses the problem through a comprehensive analysis of the extensive lorica segmentata assemblage from Carnuntum in Austria, combined with a critical review of previous reconstruct…
Counting in tens. Cultural insights from the sole surviving mail hauberk with an integrated coif
This article explores the only surviving example of a mail hauberk with an integrated coif, shedding light on its construction, origin, and historical context. The mail coat was discovered by locals in the 1930s near Berane, Montenegro. Its precise find location and its archaeological context are uncertain. Prior to investigation, it was hypothesised that it may represent a European hauberk from the 11th-13th century. Examination of the coat, not…
Recycling and repair on the Roman frontier
The Roman army was a vast military machine that demanded huge amounts of material and complex supply mechanisms. A 14kg hoard of mail armour from near the Roman legionary fortress of Bonn, Germany, offers insight into the organisation of recycling and repair on Rome's northern frontier. Computed tomography reveals there are at least four garments and suggests a likely date. The authors explore the hoard's context and motivations for its depositio…
The Work Profiler
For the public employment services of many Member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, the importance of using profiling tools for job seekers is increasing rapidly in importance. With this trend, there is also widening concern about the risks of an over reliance on such tools. Part of the concern lies with a lack of transparency concerning how such tools work. This article aims to address this by offering a de…
The equipment of a Germanic warrior from the 2nd-4th century AD
Virtual reality opens new ways for reconstructing, preserving and exhibiting clothing and textiles. This applies particularly to those from an archaeological context, which can be incomplete, damaged or fragile. Despite the possibilities of computer technology, such as computer graphics (CG) and computer-aided design (CAD), its potential has only been superficially explored. This article showcases its possibilities by focussing upon the equipment…
Testing archaeological mail armour in a virtual environment
This article presents a new method for examining mail through the use of digital reconstruction and computer simulation. The method allows the physical and mechanical properties of mail artefacts to be reconstructed, which otherwise remain hidden, by performing tests in a virtual environment. Ten archaeological finds, dating between 300 BC and 1000 AD, were parameterized and reconstructed. Testing procedures were developed to measure the properti…
Digital replication and reconstruction of mail armour
Digital reconstruction of historical costumes is a broad research area, which brings together archaeology, dress history and digital technologies. Mail armour includes many damaged and sometimes now fragile artefacts which could be reconstructed in virtual reality. However, contemporary methods of digitization were developed for textile clothes and cannot accurately reproduce the draping behaviour and appearance of a mail fabric made from metal r…
La túnica de hierro de Vimose (Fionia, Dinamarca)
La cota de malla de Vimose (Fionia, Dinamarca) se encuentra en un estado extraordinario pese a corresponder a un artefacto de época Romana. Un examen detallado demuestra que su confección es muy similar a las túnicas romanas y difiere de las cotas de malla medievales. Los apliques para regular la apertura del cuello parecen un fenómeno germánico local. Precisamente esta mezcla de elementos germánicos y romanos en la cota de Vimose es excelente ev…
