Ave y'all
Brian, I have to wonder if the coat being referred to is, perhaps an early form of Brigandine. Dan, you're usually up on this sort of stuff......Brigandine or similar?
Personally, I'm enjoying this thread, even though I'm tending towards the metal side of the issue now.
Let me throw out an idea here, to wit: Since the Romans used Rudis in training, why not leather armor during said training. Just as it saved wear and tear on the real gladii,
so might leather armor do the same for the metal........I didn't say it was a GOOD idea..lol.
Salve,
Vitruvius....aka Larry Mager
