Hopefully someone can cure my ignorance. If there was more over-lap, wouldn't that offer more protection? It just makes sense to me that the Romans (as practical as they were) would have tried to make their squamata as well protected as possible (especially for centurions who, evidently, wore custom armor and ccould certainly afford it). I'm having trouble seeing why the Romans would want extremely flexible armor, as they weren't exactly doing gymnastics in battle.

On a side note: Was squamata more effective than hamata?

Regards,
Tyler
