Quote:But I do not agree that anyone is stupid for implying or questioning that some sort of arm protection is reasonable."This implies that the Romans and millions of other fighters from other cultures were unreasonable if they did not use arm protection. What is reasonable to us is not necessarily reasonable to someone with a different perspective. There is no evidence for Roman vambraces. For whatever reason they saw no need for them.
