Maille During the Time of Darius I
#1
I'm looking for a good picture of a Persian suit of mail from the time of Darius I (late 400s BC) - replica, existing, or from another period source (relief, statue, etc.). I know, kinda random but I'm editing an online course and there's a quotation from a contract with the army of Darius I to produce a "suit of mail". The picture accompanying the contract is of a typical medieval coat of mail. I know I should just be happy that the authors wrote "suit of mail" instead of "chainmail" but the history geek in me is cringing at the wrong armor being pictured.

So if anyone can help me out, I'd be grateful. Sadly, the Higgins Armory only goes back to about 1300.
