For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round

Lithuania recovers US army vehicle, soldiers' fate unknown.

After a six-day search, authorities in Lithuania on Monday recovered a US military vehicle that sank deep into a swamp during a training exercise.

It was taking part in a tactical training at a large training area in the eastern Lithuanian town of Pabrade, just 10 kilometers west of the border with Belarus.

The fate of four missing US soldiers remains unknown.

"Some historians trace the beginning of the fall of the Western Roman Empire to the Senate’s decision to reduce the soldiers’ pension. With less incentive to join the army, the Roman citizens turned to different careers. The Senate then filled the ranks of the army with Barbarians, diminishing the cohesion and discipline. These decisions are major contributing factors that lead to the fall of Rome. A cautionary tale to not mess with a veteran’s pension and post service benefits."
