Dude, seriusly....It looks like you Really like Mail Armor, but....

U know what???? I am just gonna be straight with you dawg.
1-) Lorica Segmentata is a more effective type of armor than Mail. (period)
2-) Lorica Segmentata is composed of METAL PLATES, joined by leather straps, and the slight overlaping of these plates gives the wearer MOBILITY without compromising PROTECTION.
3-) Comrade Alexeo: Has just provided us with 1st HAND ACCOUNTS, of ACTUAL USAGE and PREFORMANCE of Lorica Segmentata and Mail.

Yet u still choose not to accept these points brought up and decide to refute them with:
A-) A plate is a SINGLE LARGE PEACE OF METAL THAT DOESN'T BEND.
B-) Still insiting that the in Lorica Segmentata LEATHER will break.
C-) Only saying that Lorica Segmentata was good for preventing blunt Trauma.
D-) Still using the FICTISIOS event that a Roman Camp might be overrun buy UNDETECTED enemy soldiers.
E-) And other stuff like "Lorica Segmentata functions by absorbing the blow, precisely because it is not solid" Say What??? (so is it a liquid, gas, or plasma?)

Dude, seriusly...Read and understand what Comrade Alexeo said. And do research on your own and you will see.

Remember when doing research you should be able to Distinguish between CREDIBLE Sources and NOT so credible.
Best examples of Credible sources:

CREDIBLE SOURCES
1-) Primary Source Documents
-Basically an object/book/paining/soundrecording/etc from the time period being studied:
For Example:
A peice of armor excavated, painting/books made during the time period being researched, etc

2-) Secondary Source Documents
-Interpretations/Studies/Experiments made by Acredited Organisations/Groups/Individials that were made using Primary Source Documents.
For Example:
A history book detailing and explaining the use/types of Armor during Ancient and Medieval times. These books MUST HAVE a WORKS CITED page and the end (or biggining) showing where the author/s got that information from.

NOT SO CREDIBLE:
Forums, google.com, a web-page made by JoeSmoe called www.LoricaSegmentataIsTheBest.com, a Book WITHOUT a Works Cited page, etc...
