Opinions of this lamellar cuirass, please!

[Virilis]

Salve!

I would like to have some kind of body protection too. I found this, it is simple and looks effective. Is there any change it could be used with a late roman impression? Thanks!

[Carlton Bach]

It looks very similar to some depictions from Lombard Italy and I've seen the basic shape in Byzantine art, though there it seems to be scale rather than lamellar (or at least a very different type of lame). MacDowall reconstructs this type of cuirass as early as the fourth century, but I'm not sure on what basis.

It's certainly fins for late late Roman, if you know what I mean. We have such lames and at least one full suit from Migration-era Germanic graves (the suit is from South Germany, IIRC Niederstötzingen).

Thanks, Volker!

No I have only to ask about the price from the vendor...

Who is the vendor? I can't make it out on the photo.

It is definitely lamellar. Looks Byzantine. Should be reasonably ok for late Roman as is. Some cavalry troopers might wear this over a mail shirt.

There you go.

Dan when you say late, what do you mean? Would this be acceptable for a 4th century impression?

Thanks

If one was portraying an "Eastern" persona.

Thanks Maik! Yes, I found this cuirass on your site but when I posted this thread I just quicky googled and got the picture that way! Looks very good! Is it possible to have this plain example without leather edgings at all?

[Mighty Maik]

Yes it`s no problem!
But you must fix the plates with endings or straps.
When not it is to instable. Believe its better :wink:

Ok, thanks Maik! I am also interested in your "frankish" spangenhelm on your web-site, I have been looking for one for a long time! Is it possible to have one with a different or no nose quard at all?

[Mighty Maik]

Yes, it`s no problem!
You mean this Helmet yes?

Tomorrow or Sunday we finish the English area on our site!

Hi Mike,

I send you an email via your site with a question about a helmet. Did you receive it?

Kind regards,
