\'Black\' armour

[Carus Andiae]

Thanks. I didn't think there was any (firm!) evidence for deliberately blued or blackened armour, but I did wonder if there was any evidence that armour was worn forge-black. The balance of probability does seem to be a 'no', though.

I've just been researching some sets of 16th and 17th century armour, which is what prompted my ponderings on the possibility of 'black' armour in the Roman Army.
