Quote:Just watching Troy, I noticed something interesting- some of the Myrmidones' armor has woven straps with rivets that surpsrisingly makes sense as an interpretation of the crosshatched design on Patrokos' armor on the plate:
Makes sense in that context since, in that movie, armour provided absolutely no protection against spear or arrow Functional armour would need to be constructed differently.
