> slaughter celts and their slashing weapons by stabbing them with sturdy short swords
> centuries later adopt celtic style longswords
Wat

large, robust formations of infantry aren't so good at dealing with highly mobile, marauding warbands.

the later Roman army was more of a low cost, high endurance counter-insurgency force.

it's a cavalry sword

Have some weapons.

For what purpose is there an axe head instead of say, a bayonet?

...

Not sure, perhaps they though thrusting with knife on a small firearm doesn't have as much force as using the whole weapon as a handle for an axe.

This one looks fake.

Late Medieval

I think Greek armor is easily the most aesthetically pleasing, dude. Everything about it is so fucking cool to me.

Yes i like the aesthetic of greek arour, i also have this picture that historian say is a perfect image of how the greek soliders looked

Those leeks never fail to make me laugh.

>those pointed elbows and feet
>damn near 0 visibility
Looks aesthetic as fuck but what were they thinking?? Is this what happens when you let fashion designers design your combat armor?

They were thinking they weren't going to do much foot combat and preferred the extra protection during a charge

>pointed feet
They are actually very convenient to put in the stirrups.

I would also like to get some context, from what I can infer by that guy's face is that he's some Hatsune Miku fan defending his waifu's honour.

Here´s some weird Indian shit, I guess related to those guys because both used Ellephants

>Grappling lizards
>Whip swords
>Killer Frisbees

faggot

On the Rerebraces of this armor you can see a leather liner where there are holes. Does this attach to an arming jacket, or what? How does the armor hang off you? And if so, where would you get one? All I can find is padded gambesons.

You're underestimating the ingenuity of Renaissance people. Armour pieces were often modular. You could simply remove the parts that would be bothersome to wear in combat.

Also, I think you're underestimating the amount of visibility sallets offer.

>everyone else has badass swords
>get assigned flying the imperial kite on a stick behind them for morale
>cut down by gladius after romans take a liking for my kite and hunt me down through the ranks

>Gauntlet-swords

>pointed elbows
Literally what is the disadvantage to this? If you're forced to grapple with someone it's a fucking huge advantage to have spikes on your elbows.
