LOL...that's like saying, well, there's no evidence to say the romans didn't have warp drive....8)
Steel looks 100X better than leather seggies. You should try one...takes some time but well worth it!
true but there are images on Trajans column that they are unsure if the seggies are made from mail or leather, I think the leather seggie will be a first project to try and get the shape and articulation of the joints right etc (much cheaper to mess up using leather!) then i'll try a Steel one, im just not confident in metal work at this stage, but i have a few projects i want to give a bash!!...
but didnt you know Caesar had warp drive AND phasers?
