it is just something i was thinking about but when a scissor was fighting a retiarus isn't it possible that a musculata breastplate was added over his chainmail as i've seen in a miniature figure?
I'm wondering this because right now i'm fighting as thraex/murmillo and i'd like to train scissor aswell.
Since my experience in medieval reenactment I know that a thrust thrives op the rings of chainmail and only protects against slashes so i was thinking what if full plate was added over it since medieval knights done the same for protection against thrusts?
Just and idea though something like this...
