Polybius, horse archers arrows, roman armour, oh my.
#81
Summers book does indeed cover it, and in fact shows several depictions of what can be interpreted as a subarmalis, and also one item which I have long thought to be a subarmalis from a monument.
It would be pretty unfeasibly to go into battle without it. They wouldn't need swords or sharp weapons then, just clubs to batter the armour into you.
