New research from the Roman frontier near Bonn, Germany, has revealed compelling evidence of civilian involvement in the repair of Roman mail armor during the 3rd century AD. Analysis of armor discovered during excavations at a settlement near the Bonn legionary fortress, marks the first clear evidence of mail repair occurring outside a Roman military installation.
With the new analysis published in Antiquity magazine, the armor, weighing 14 kg (30.8 pounds), was found in a corroded block during excavations in 2012. The deposit included two nearly complete mail garments and fragments of two others. Researchers believe this hoard was part of a stockpile used for armor repairs, demonstrating a practice akin to patchworking textiles. The findings underscore the reliance of Roman armies on local craftspeople to maintain their equipment.
