Quote:The third Century Mail excavated at Arbaia Fort in 1997 is complete and was very well preserved, it doesn't have any evidence of integral padding.
Romans wore mail armour for nearly a thousand years. Sometimes it had a padded liner. Sometimes it didn't. The contention is how prevalent each method was during a particular time.
