Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor - New Book
Quote:I believe you pointed out late last year here on RAT that a variation on the word 'hamata' namely 'hamis'/hooked occurs in Virgils 'Aneid' ( 1st C BC), and perhaps Jerome picked up on this.......

Yep, but we don't know what term the Romans used to refer to mail armour before the 5th century.
