Per this recent post on Chinese armor - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=158106&hilit=chinese
There appears to be mini lamellar plates for the arms - http://www.mythbbs.net/bbs/attachments/ ... .thumb.jpg
Sounds like an interesting idea to me. Anyone ever try this?

Re: Small lamellar
A lot of Roman lames are about "finger" size. I don't think these deserve the title "mini".

Re: Small lamellar
Romans did scale armor not lamellar to my knowledge.
Most modern recreations of lamellar have large plates, including some of the mongolian recreations. The smaller size plates are interesting as it might allow greater flexibility.

Re: Small lamellar
Im pretty sure they found roman lamellar in newcastle. It was linked via rings but they were tombstone plates iirc
