"Augustus"... What Now?

[Matthew Amt]

I should also warn you that there are modern writers who believe that most any metal armor is "ceremonial" or for "parade", and that anything actually used in combat must have been leather. Obviously we know this is silly, but you don't need to know anything about real armor and weaponry to be a certified historian! As Jasper says, don't even bother trying to get technical details from a general history book like that one. Things have been improving slowly, but still...

Vale,
