2,000-Year-Old Roman Tool May Reveal How Legionary Armor Was Made

A 2,000-year-old metalworking tool unearthed in the Czech Republic could offer a rare window into how Roman legionaries produced their iconic mail armor. The artifact, identified as a calibration plate used for drawing metal wire, was found during rescue excavations ahead of a major infrastructure project. Its presence so far north of the Roman frontier raises compelling questions about the reach of Roman technology.
The discovery was made by archaeologists from the Archaeological Center Olomouc (ACO) along the planned route of the Moravian Gate high-speed railway line reports Heritage Daily. The tool – a rectangular iron block pierced with multiple holes of varying diameters – is believed to have been used for drawing metal rods into thin, uniform wire, a critical first step in manufacturing the thousands of interlocking rings that made up a Roman lorica hamata (chainmail shirt).
