Where did he find it? Iron armor, and specially a full lorica segmentata, is a very valuable archaeological item. 99 times out of 100, the thin, flexible iron plates have completely fallen to corrosion, and all that is left are the tin parts (hinges, buckles and so). A piece that has, besides, combat damage -and probably a cause of death for his owner- is an unique item. Such a piece deserves an exhaustive research and should be a visitor-attractor for any museum.

I'd really like to know more about that.
