Infantry Chainmail

There is little point in being brave if you are dead.

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. Archaeologists have also discovered a number of Celtic grave sites containing mail-clad warriors, some of which date back as far as the 3rd century BC - making them some of the earliest examples of chainmail in the world.
