Alanic Sarmatian influence in the 5th century

[Alanus]

Where did you get that image of that Qin / Han armour?
BTW, there is no scale in that image, it is all lamellar.

Hey, you're right Nadeem. On a second peek, it looks like all lamellar, although the arpon pieces are scale-shaped. The armor was made from stone so it would protect the Emperor forever, but I think his actual armor was iron, not that old-fashioned bronze stuff. Most of the troops wore leather with stiff leather riveted plates, but this just might be a rendition of Shi Huandi's personal armor. Try google images; I think that's where I found it. :-)
