By the way...what would be the best way to protect one's armour from rust etc. in those times ?
Were they oiled for example ? (even though thought of legionary trying to put on slippery lorica hamata is somewhat amusing..). Could one use wax or something ?
Or did they have to just scrub and polish all the time ? 8)
