Quote:Yep, why would a Roman have used leather? Think about it. He would have had to go to the trouble of tanning it, then dying it. What for? It is useless as an armor. Linen and felt, on the other hand, have proven properties as armor.

Yes, but history has clearly shown us that people do things that make no sense. Like that unit of pike-men in the U.S. Civil war. I wouldn't rule anything out, even though it seems unlikely.
