page 136 note § Since writing this paper, a note on the Roman station at Newstead has been pointed out to me in the Scottish Historical Review, October, 1905, pp. 126–7, in which it is briefly stated that portions of an iron cuirass, ornamented with mountings of what appears to be gilded bronze, was found ; also “upwards of 350 scales of brass, which had formed part of the armour.” With regard to the latter, Mr. James Curie, jun., F.S. A., has kindly sent me an outline of a scale which is of the same general form as the Ham Hill ones, with two holes on either side near the top for joining the scales together, but with one hole only at the top for attachment to the tunic ; whereas in the case of the Ham Hill scales there are two holes at the top. The Newstead scales are 1⅛ inch long (28·3 mm.) by ½ inch wide (12·5 mm.), of “bright brass and very thin.” Mr. Curie says that “many of them were fastened together by wires almost square in section. The largest number of scales fastened together was 15. I have handed over 337 of the scales to the museum at Edinburgh. The find was made on September 21st, 1905, near the bottom of a great pit in the courtyard of the prætorium, along with a number of other objects. A human skull was found at the same level. Coming up in the mud some of the scales may have had the appearance of being rolled together, but it would be a mistake to describe them as found in bundles. I have not as yet formed any definite theory as to this pit, but I may say that at 13 feet deep it contained a coin of Hadrian, and from the silt of the bottom we recovered a coin of Titns or Vespasian (somewhat defaced).”
