Idea

[Watchman]

Here's a question, did anyone else use that type of armour? LS is a little unique and hard to classify since its somewhere between plate and lamellar armor.

It's normally called "laminate" (the individual horizontal strip being a "lame"). It seems to first turn up in Achaemenid Persian heavy-cavalry arm defenses, although the Central Asian nomads may have been the originators, and thereafter got pretty popular among cataphracts as limb armour. I'm under the impression the Romans first used it on gladiators, and at some point came up with the idea of adapting the construction into corselet form.

Post Antiquity it eventually starts turning up all over the place in one form or another as an independent design.
