Wait a minute, are you telliing me that "Rome Total War" has it wrong? I'm crushed, really.

Actually, only the arm and leg protection of cataphracts & clibanarii in RTW is segmented armour :wink: Everything else is scale armour.

Do we really know this? I have seen a very crude grafitto from Dura Europos that could be interpreted a dozen different ways. And how do we know that this is the type of soldier that the Romans actually referred to as "clibanarius"?
