M*diterraneans are retarded. It took centuries for enough superior nordic blood to improve the average Roman IQ.

late roman helmets give me eyesores

No need to cover your face when running away from the battlefield

Late Roman armor in general gives me eyesores.

>Exposing your face to allow your nose to be cut off

literal trash taste

I never knew there were so many flavors of shit.

XI is pretty aesthetic

Because it has perpel?

And gold. And a shark fin.

THE "LATE ROMAN EMPIRE" WAS GENERALLY BETTER THAN THE "EARLY ROMAN EMPIRE", ESPECIALLY AESTHETICALLY.

and culturally.

this guy gets it

>"LATE ROMAN EMPIRE"
Meinten sie: Byzantium?

[COLLAPSES]

It's shit. It's like early medieval helmets or something.

>armies consisting of illegal barbarians
>better
Yeah, you're a clueless retard.

Even as an avowed Byzzieboo I will admit they weren't the most aesthetic guys around

>armies consisting of illegal barbarians
This doesn't happen until like the 460s, and by that point it was already too late to do anything about it

Of course
Its basically medieval Roman armor without the barbaric shit
