For #Findsfriday, we have a find from the #Roman #massgrave in #Vienna, #Simmering. It consists of several scales of Roman #scalearmour, also known as lorica squamata. Scale armour appears in our region from the year 100, influenced by #cavalry #soldiers from the east of the empire.
What is particularly interesting is that the scales from the Hasenleitengasse have square perforations - unusual, as these holes are normally round

The bodies of three American soldiers who went missing on March 25 during military exercises were found at a training ground in Pabradė, Lithuania.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda announced that the three missing American soldiers were found dead, while the search for a fourth soldier is still ongoing.

Earlier on Monday, an armored Hercules vehicle, which the U.S. soldiers had been traveling in, was pulled from a swamp.

The fate of four missing US soldiers remains unknown.

#Trump's cutting off of US #intel is handing #putin another massive gift, #Russia's #Kursk region. Deleting yet more of #Ukraine's leverage.

Trump is Putin's whore.

"The suspension of #US #intelligence transfer to Ukraine is felt most by #Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region after a terrorist #attack, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are unable to recognize and attack #russian troops in the region, the New York Times writes, citing Ukrainian #soldiers and an American official."
