Armor versus archery

[M. Demetrius]

Romans at Carrhae would likely agree that arrows were effective, though as stated already, the armor resisted penetration. If you can put enough arrows in the air for long enough, you're bound to hit something unarmored sooner or later. Imagine how much these soldiers hated those supply camels laden with baskets of arrows!

[sidetrack: Does anyone have a good estimate of how many arrows the Parthians brought with them in that battle?]
