At the archaeological excavations carried out during 1998 in Santa Marina street, near the internal face of the Late Roman wall of Leon, an important building of the legio VII gemina fortress was discovered. It was identified as a magazine with a central courtyard, erected by this legionary unit at the end of the 1st c. AD. Inside one of the constructions a fragment of a manica or a laminated arm protector was found. This element consists of 11 overlapping plates of different sizes, four of them trapezoid and seven rectangular and of greater size. Some fragments were preserved, which could have been leather. This ensemble became deformed by crushing. This protector was abandoned around the last quarter of the 3rd c. AD in a room which was possibly a storage area and was crushed by the collapse of the roof of the building.
