Quote:Why isn't it lamellar then? I mean, show me how in the way the Klivanion was constructed it did not make it lamellar, because I'm pretty sure the leather piece is just an innovation in defence/padding like Lorica segmentata in that it absorbs blows.Beatson's reconstruction makes more sense than Dawson's. There is a brief discussion here with some useful links.
