Quote:BTW has anyone ever demonstrasted that the Romans actually HAD parade armour? Just because some medieval cultures used it doesn't mean that everyone else did too.
Most recent publications I've read do away with the notion of 'parade armour' and suggest the men liked to look good in battle and for any other occasion including cooking. Okay, an exaggeration with the cooking, but...

I keep expecting tin-plated sponge sticks to turn up.
