Quote:Hey! I just discovered something. Vambraces didn't originate in the movies, like most of us think. They show up first in nineteenth century operas. Even Valkyries wore them, along with the heavy-damage breast plates and winged helmets.it's the same for viking's horned helmets. It started alla from Wagner.
About the point expressed by cacaius...there are clear evidence that populations like Nuragic Sardinians, and bell-beaker used this kind of protection with the bow.
of course stone armlet are the copyes of more pratical leather ones.
