Fully illustrated, this study investigates the origins, evolution and use of the mail and scale armour worn by the soldiers and gladiators of Imperial Rome.

Less glamorous than the Roman Army’s instantly recognizable plate armour but much more versatile, mail and scale armour were used by both legionaries and auxiliaries throughout Rome’s history. Developed by the Celts and quickly adopted by the Romans, mail armour was easy to make and required little maintenance. Scale was a much older form of armour, originating in the Near East during the second millennium BC. As with mail, it was used by both auxiliaries and legionaries, but like plate armour, it was much more fragile than mail. Both types of armour were also used by gladiators (principally as arm defences).

New discoveries in both mail and scale, as well as in hybrid forms that mixed the two, mean that much more is now known about the development of these types of defence during the Roman period, their efficacy in battle and how they were manufactured and repaired. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon the latest findings, this study lifts the veil on the mail and scale armour used by soldiers, gladiators and others during the heyday of Imperial Rome.

Good product!
Color: Gold
This is nicer than I expected honestly and a good value for the money. Trims amazing, the shave isn’t as close as a razor but it helps in a pinch! Charging takes forever but then it also runs on that battery for days!

Versatile trimer
This electric trimmer is very easy to use and, best of all, it includes a great attachment for trimming nose hairs. Everything feels high quality, it doesn’t irritate the skin, and it’s also very powerful.

No More Chewbacca Legs!
Color: Gold
Tons of research was done to find the best one for me. READ the instruction booklet and use common sense when using on your bikini area. ( There's ALWAYS that ONE review..) I like this a lot. Recovering from surgery and can't get into the bath for a regular shave, so being able to use this on my legs DRY was a dream! Now that it's warmer out, my legs no longer look like Chewbacca! Lol! Oh! It was already charged so that was great. I like that you can use your usb to charge this. No pain, but again, use your head, don't be digging this into your skin, tread LIGHTLY in sensitive areas.
