Quote:Herodotus, Body Armour and Achaemenid Infantry, Historia Band 61, Heft 3, 2012Hiya,
Abstract: Argues that the Persian infantry of 479 BC did indeed wear body armour.
See this is why I wish I knew German... Do they argue that most Persian infantry wore armour? I can't recall anyone claiming that none of them did.

Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
