Salve,
I have two questions regarding the roman scale armour.
1. Is there anywhere you can actually buy scale armour at a "reasonable" price, or do you have to make it yourself? I know deepeeka sells scales for instance. I am talking 200 AD-ish.
2. Do we have any assumptions on how common scale armor was and how it stands up to other armor types of the era? Chainmail seem to have been the "standard" armor, I assume that scale was either more expensive, harder to maintain and/or gave a lesser degree of protection. I have never fiddled around with scale armor myself so I have no clue what to expect from it. What are your experiences?
