of the scapula and the spine of the scapula [spina scapulae].
The scapula can be fractured in 3 different areas: the body of the scapula; the neck of the scapula or glenoid (which connects the humerus—upper arm bone—to the shoulder joint); or the acromion process (which connects to the acromioclavicular joint bone in the shoulder).
The scapulas are the large, flat, triangular bones that form the back part of the shoulder.  They are covered by muscles on both surfaces which attach to the ribs and spine and then to the muscles of the arm.

 Cartimandua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cartimandua's rule over the Brigantes was probably already established when emperor Claudius began the organized conquest of Britain in AD 43, and certainly by the time a revolt of a faction of the Brigantes was defeated by Publius Ostorius Scapula in 48.

In about 51 AD Cartimandua handed over the British resistance leader Caratacus, who had fled north after being defeated by Publius Ostorius Scapula in Wales, to the Romans.
