Having asserted that the ingenious and elegant manufacture of interlaced chain-mail was not known in Europe before the middle of the reign of Henry III. of England, I think it due to the Society that I should attempt some explanation of the Lorica catena of the Romans.

Indeed the latter are rather Latinized than Latin words, in support of which I need only notice the term Galea, which with the Romans signified a helmet; but with the monkish writers was the Latinized term for a galley. So trilicem in my former paper was Latinized from the Norman trelis.
