I will agree with Dan too.
Especially because of painfull practical experience!
Absorbing blows directly from metal armor is VERY nasty experience!
Padding!!! Padding!!!
I don believe that all ancient troops had the stupid bravado to wear armor without
some way to cushion the blows.
So I strongly believe thatspollas was somathing of asubarmalis.
Kind regards
