You may find, as your fighting improves, that you can throw shots faster than you can yell. A concern is that you (and others around you) must be able to hear if a hold is called. If you cannot, you will likely be considered "unsafe", which could get you removed. Most of the sounds ew make...

But, I stand by my statement. There is very little evidence that leather armor was used, and also that if a person is using leather armor, they should never try to pass it off as accurate to the period, word. Also, fragments of leather armor do exist. The *only* leather armour find I know of was a ...

It WAS used in at least some rare occasions. We have clear evidence of that. The evidence does not support saying it was anything but very rare, however.


Freiman.

Are you referring to the Imperial/Republican Roman era?
Can you cite this evidence for me?

no evidence to suggest that the Romans ever made the segmentata or musculata typologies in leather


I'm on board with that.

I was wondering of Primvs was saying that the musculata only existed in statue, and not in the field.
