Langobards Military Tier 9
Organised Armour Production
Aggression alone is not enough to keep a man safe.Although the Romans often described barbarian warriors as bare-chested savages, there are classical accounts that clearly discuss their use of chainmail. Appian and Livy both describe “mail-clad” Celts fighting at the Battle of Magnesia in 190BC. Later, the Goths and Vandals were also known for wearing 'lamella', an early form of plate armour constructed of overlapping plates laced into horizontal rows. Lamella offered more protection than scale armour and was less restrictive, making it popular with heavy cavalry units right through to the knights of the Middle Ages.
