A History of Lamellar and Scale Armour in the West

[Dan Howard]

I've preordered the book. I think only a reconstruction of it could tell us what was most effective.
Why do you think the armor choosed by the artists of the Divine Triad was the lamellar, if it was a cheap low cost one?

No metal armour was "cheap", but lamellar was cheaper than mail. Mail was the most expensive and time consuming type of armour ever invented.
