Description: | Complete Roman chain-mail shirt found abandoned in a barrack destroyed by fire. It is made up of over 50,000 links. Alternate rows are made of wire links that have been closed with a rivet. The preservation is so good that the heads of the rivets, less than 1mm across, are still visible (late third or early fourth century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
