That's a wonderful but disturbing truth! We may never know, at least until we find or make a time machine... chances?
So I think we do tend to fall for the RTW effect more than we should and write a letter to Sega saying me want more variety in our units! I also think that today's replicators tend to wear their armor too shiny...I don't think that the Romans were capable of such polishing in which we use today...reminding me this...
I have recreated a gladius Hispaniensis. It's almost finished, just the leathery of the scabbard and brass or a more accurate metal, trims, and decor, etc. I will very soon post some pics of it on here and ask for as much advice as possible. I have chosen real, dark blood red leather!!! :-) About segmentata. I believe it would have been easier to make than mail armor, and offer more protection against arrows, stabs, and slashes! Why it survived for a short period may because the hinges* broke too often :lol:
