Til this post I didn’t know people 1500 years ago would have thought about suits and helmets…I’m not saying that they wouldnt have, I’m just wondering what the history is.

Well people definitely did, the Romans for instance. Apparently mesoamericans had cloth body armor similar to European gambesons as well as some leather stuff, but nothing metal

I didn’t put enough thought into what era we were in 1500 years ago. Thank you.
