Hello Luca
Yes, I have looked back at the previous topic and I met Raffaele in Italy only a few weeks ago. It seems we got as far as whether any tests had been done under experimental conditions. Dan Howard believed he had some results somewhere but there the thread ended.
What we could really do with is someone like Mark Beaby at the Royal armouries making some leather segmented arm guards with padding and then David Sim trying out his Dacian Falx against it!
I would not volunteer to place my arm in there though!!! :wink: I would rather be in a tank never mind a metal lorica.
