I have been reading my Suetonius but in reference to another Emperor such as Galba when he set off for Rome when he discovered that Nero was dead in para' 11 where there is mention of armour, quote :- So he put himself on his journey clad in his coat armour, with his dagger hanging down from about his neck just before his breast ; -: unquote
Therefore this coat armour must imply a leather jack or leather armour of some sort but what ??
