Sub-Roman Britain (Cavalry etc)

[Alanus]

Ah yes. Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery-- the world's worst and best actor in a single movie. :?

If my interpretation of lamellar is overlapping bands, as opposed to plate armor, then look in the Late Roman Cavalry book by Ospray. Color and b & w.

In fact, plate armor doesn't show well, historically, in the West. It was used by the Massagetae and probably some of their descendents, the Alani, but specific examples have escaped me. I want to make two-tiered shoulder leathers with rectangular steel plates, then wearing it attached over my chainmail. Certainly, someone was wearing the style upon European ground, but no confirmations yet.
