Amazon warriors in Britain

As a story it's a bit dated. From 2004 actually. I have a great enthusiasm for things about the Roman army. This was news to me though...

The Roman army used auxiliaries of all sorts, but among them were numeri ("numbers" singular: numerus), irregular units of non-Romans using their own weapons, tactics and leaders. The term is vague and loosely applied. Feoderati were "foreign" units and there is overlap in the terminology. The remains of two Amazon warriors were found in Brougham in Cumbria, Britain, during the 1960's but not identified as such for 40 years, as archeological technology caught up.

Yeah... Amazons. Female warriors. Nothing to do with the river in South America of course, but warriors from a stretch of the Danube where Greek legend held that the legendary Amazons came from.

"One of the sets of women warrior’s remains were found with the burnt remnants of animals. Bone veneer, used to decorate boxes, was also found alongside evidence of a sword scabbard and red pottery. The possessions suggest that she was of high status and her age has been estimated at between 20 and 40 years old. The other woman, thought to be between 21 and 45, was buried with a silver bowl, a sword scabbard, bone veneer and ivory."

They are dated to the 3rd century and thus would have been in the service of the late Roman army which looked quite different to "Hollywood" Romans. By this time there was scale armour, trousers, long-sleeved tunics, boots (not sandals), swords carried on the left, and oval shields.

The full article is here. Short but fascinating.
Numeri are called numerii - double "i" - in the article. I never learned Latin so I'm unsure about whether that is right.

I can't find further reading on this find.
