Dear all I am confused and maybe someone can help. Can someone explain when segmentata replaced email after Caesar, then when it was replaced by mail again in the later centuries.
Does this say that even back then in the army, they follow fashion trends or was this a decision based on practical assessment that mail was better?
If dates, and Emperors could be supplied as I am totolly lost from Caesar, Augustus through to Constantine? who was wearing what? And long pants? when did they appear?
Lastly, the cuirass - was it just an emperor thing - metal or thickened leather?
