I didn’t know chain mail was around BC. Pretty sure it was expensive though. Maybe its a ring mail repair tool. Interesting.

I was surprised by that as well, turns out, the Celts were making and using it in the 1st c BC. The Romans adopted good ideas from trade partners, neighbors, and even adversaries, and the Gauls were definitely in that third category. ;^)
