Quote:tnx! could it be possible that because it's organic material we don't have prove for it but that images do show them?
No. We have tons of leather artefacts dating to the Roman period. Even leather components of metal armour. The only evidence for "Roman" leather armour is a piece of lamellar from Dura Europos. No musculata and definitely no segmentata.

Before anyone starts arguing semantics I define "armour" in this thread as an item designed to protect a person from various weapons in a military context. So I don't consider costumes to be armour and I don't consider chariot racers' equipment to be armour.
