Quote:Do we even know the percentage of the Roman army that actually had armour? It's possible that the most common body armour was "no armour"I thought there was some group of Gauls who tried that only to find it didn't work too well. Are there any references at all to non-metal armors by Roman historians? leather, padded, thick clothes?
