He's wearing leather, or I'm becoming blind?![]()
Hehe, that's leather indeed. But that's not a 1st century AD soldier, the period you are inquiring about.
I believe Faventivs based his leather lammelar armour on 3rd century finds from Dura Europos. But I'm not sure if the leather armour parts that were found belonged to Roman armour.
Vale,
