How thick were origional helmets?
#11
Quote:Some ancient contractors may have cheated the Roman Legions providing
thinner metal than the provided specifications.
It did happen (though whether cheating was involved is another subject) as seen in a late Roman lanciarius' letter, in which he specifically says the new swords aren't up to the right specification. However, I'd dare say the swords would have been returned perhaps?
