Quote:This seems an odd episode to me. If the danger was serious, why not wear serious armor? I suppose he might not have wanted to appear cowardly, and so wore armor that he could hide beneath his tunic and toga, not a possibility with a segmentata and problematic with a musculata, but why not a light mail shirt? Maybe none was handy that day at the palace.Where did I read Marcus Antonius once wore a mail shirt beneath his tunic when he went to a meeting? Was it a novel?
