Quote:My thought/theory about the "Dendron" panoply, is that is "similar" with the full-plate Medival Knights' armor; that armor ALSO was a full-body protection one, but these knights ALSO used shield as well.As soon as fully articulated plate was developed the shield disappeared from the medieval battlefield. So the Medieval experience can be used to support the argument that the Dendra armour was intended to be used by a warrior without a shield.
