Armour Flexibility

[caiusbeerquitius]

Since you don't wear a subarmalis past your abdomen,

Huh? What evidence is this based on?

Hi Christian,

Does the article speculate on how the tubing might have been made? Does it cite other evidence that Romans had iron tubing suitable for making mail links?

Investigation of tool marks has shown:
Step1: bar is forged
Step2: bar turned evenly round on lathe => rod
Step3: Hole is drilled into rod on lathe => tube
Step4: rings are taken of tube with chisel on lathe
Process leaves a small flash along one side of the ring, along the inner circumference.
