Quote:Cool- but is there any reason to believe they're from soldiers' armor? That's the issue, not whether or not iron scales existed.
errgh...
so you doubt that
a) the iron scales were part of an armour
or
b) that armour made of iron scales were worn by soldiers?
Do we have any evidence that other elements of the roman society wore armour othen than soldiers? I can't recall any but that doesn't mean none exists, just I'm not aware of it.
