Asset Overview

The 3D model presents a hypothetical digital reconstruction of the belt-like object from Vimose (2nd century AD, Nationalmuseet, inv. no. 24223). The original artefact consists of a copper alloy hinge that pivots around an iron pin with a copper alloy ring. Two fragments of mail fabric are attached to the left and right sides of the hinge (for further details see «Wijnhoven, M.A. (2022) A Roman Iron Age assemblage of mail armour from the weapon deposit of Vimose, Journal of Roman Military Equipment Studies, № 21»). The reconstruction is based upon the measurements of the actual artefact. The authors of the reconstruction are Aleksei Moskvin (Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design) https://independent.academia.edu/AlekseiMoskvin Mariia Moskvina (Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design) https://independent.academia.edu/MariiaMoskvina Martijn A.
