Worst Lorica Segmentata Ever

[Paullus]

Hands down, you win Daniele hock:

Here's a real cheapy for the kids

Good God!!! I think they invented some new categories of ugly with those.
Especially that tin can segmenta/hamata hybrid.

People at Ren Faires will buy anything, won't they? You don't exactly have to be a historian to know it belongs more on Middle Earth than on a Roman.

Then I saw this..., hey, it's absolutely true fake leather...

Clearly Oberst Max von Groller is now designing for Ann Summers... ;-)

Speaking of Ann Summers..


I did a picture search for body armour and got this :oops: hock:

Caution- No under 18s

I mean, come on. This gear is totally historically innaccurate! :lol:

Useful if you need a wearable Faraday Cage though.

Funny people, electricity workers. I once had to get a rubber duck (a wheeled 360 excavator, for those who don't know) under a powerline and needed to know the arcing distance, so the electricity company sent out a guy with a set of wooden poles who screwed them together and extended them until he got this multi-KV line to arc! Turns out even with the bucket and arm fully extended upwards he was nowhere near it and yes, there were rubber tyres on the rubber duck (which is, of course, how it got its nickname).

I know the mentality of electrical workers really well- my parents were both electrical engineers until recently.
I decided against that career early on after a 'hair raising' incident with a dodgy printer.

Speaking of rubber.....

Yes, rubber Roman gear!!!

I was going to report this thread to the moderator for offensive military equipment, but Mike's contribution means it's worth saving :wink:

I guess that's a 'don't try this at home' one then, Mike?
