Chainmail (Roman Period)

The main armor of the heavy cavalry in the late Roman Period was the chainmail. Brought in by the romans it made the cavalry well protected and the infantry better able to take care of their own armor while travelling. The warrior wore padded and heavy clothing and a thick chainmail pulled over the clothes. The legs were kept unprotected as well as the the arms, as the heavy chainmail of the time makes it difficult to move. The armor was not used in duels, as it was considered unmanly and cowardly.

The chainmail simply required some simple tools, a barrel and some sand to keep it functioning.
