In so far as Caligae or any shoe I was meaning to protect the feet, that simple. When I mentioned "Mail shirt" I was referring to the many times it has been referred to as such.
mail (mal) n- armor, especially garments made of or covered with interlocking metal rings, or overlapping metal scales. [ from Old French "maille", from Latin "macula" meaning " a spot; mesh of a net.] Hom- male.--adj.- mailed.
I have proven that I am able to read and have a dictionary in my possession. May I please enter the conversation? As a human with a view point;not as a scholar just to be clear.
I was referring to the "Portraits" much as the statues of Roman leaders functioned. Most portraits and statues I have come across are more "Iconic" than "Photographic" many paintings do have Kings in armor but it is usually on a battlefield.
