Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

Leather on leather on leather? Might be another one of those bawdy house props. :wink:

The date is certainly interesting, but I'm not qualified to comment on the authenticity or relevance of archeological finds. Gentlemen?

In reference to my earlier comment about improvised armor, google "hillbilly armor" to see what being done in Iraq and Afghanistan. By definition wouldn't much of the protective gear of our subject time period have been ad hoc, gleaned from battlefields, handed down in a family or gifts from leaders?
