VEMBRACES

[Gaius Colletti]

This implies that the Romans and millions of other fighters from other cultures were unreasonable if they did not use arm protection. What is reasonable to us is not necessarily reasonable to someone with a different perspective. There is no evidence for Roman vambraces. For whatever reason they saw no need for them.

Disagree, simply because someone is not reasonable does not be they are completely unreasonable, please don't twist my words. Once again, I will say this, in all caps this time because everyone likes to misquote me I WILL NEVER WEAR VAMBRACES IN REENACTING FOR THE SIMPLE REASON WE DO NOT HAVE THE EVIDENCE FOR IT. FURTHERMORE I DO NOT WISH TO BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT, I AM A SIMPLE SUPPORTER THAT ROMANS AT LEAST SOME OF THEM, MAY HAVE USED SOME SORT OF ARM PROTECTION, SINCE IT IS A VERY VULNERABLE AND VITAL EXTREMITY. Simply because I'm not on your "Arm protection doesn't exist outside of manica, which itself was rarely used" boat, does not mean that I am on the "Romans wores vambraces just like in the movies.

You in particular Dan have a way of seeing that if someone doesn't share your beliefs, they obviously are completely and utterly against you. This is not the case
