why no neck armor?
>>18582133Impedes head movement...
>>18582133Because you have a giant fuck off shield to cover it.
>>18582133Because neck armour is for changs.
>>18582149Heres an earlier period (400-500AD)
>>18582150Three kingdoms
>>18582133Because>That's what the shield is for>Neck armor fucking sucks >The neck is not very vulnerable in hoplite warfare>Mail hasn't been invented yet
>>18582157Chainmail had been invented, gayreeks were just too dumb to make it.
>>18582255It was invented by celts around Alexander's time so the greeks had excuses.
>>18582255Nope. Not hoplites had been around for centuries, and they had almost no trade links to the Gauls, and what trade their was wouldn't have included armor, especially to the greeks. Their only exposure to mail was during the one invasion of greece, be even then very few of the celts would have had any. Plus they didn't use it as neck protection either.The simple reality is that your neck is pretty well protected when you have a large shield. Almost nobody in the ancient world armored it.
>>18582133Because you have to leave an opening for your enemy or the fight is just too long
