[Lucius Aurelius Metellus]

Hi Lysadra,<br>
You mention that you make "butted" mail, and I too, would like to employ this type of chain mail in my late Roman impression. Does anyone know if the Romans used "butted" mail? I have seen original remnants of Roman mail constructed like Neurolmancer's, but surely at some point they would/could have taken shortcuts and used butted? They simplified many other aspects of their arms and armour during the late period, it just makes sense that they would employ butted mail, too. <p>Lucius Aurelius Metellus, miles gregarius, Secunda Brittanica</p><i></i>
