Quote:BTW Milites-bedenses have a very serious online test on arrows vs. Roman chain/mail and the lorica segmentata, which was also published in the latest edition of 'Antike Welt', and which IMHO far outstrips most of the tests done so far in terms of scientific test conditions applied. The only thing I found puzzling was their conclusion, which I put to discussion in the forum here: http://www.romanarmy.com/rat/viewtopic.php?t=8167
I contacted the group and they are planning another test for this April or May. Stay in touch.
