Description
In this episode, Murray tackles a listener question sent in by postcard from Damien in Tasmania:
"Hi Murray, I love the magazine and the podcasts. My question is: Is there any evidence for a standard padded garment, worn under armour, in non-Roman armies (the equivalent of a subarmalis)? Or may it be assumed to be an individual choice? Cheers, Damien."
Murray explores the evidence—or lack of it—for padded under-armour garments across various ancient armies outside of the Roman world.
