Persian armor for female soldiers.
It's indian btw and probably some modern production, so it isn't for anything
>female soldiers>soldiers>the average soldier got metal armourLol no, even the Romans only provided leather to the elite units.
>>65102027>>65102036Knew it, some searching lead me to this chick, Queen Consort not a regular soldier.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_of_Jhansi
>>65102027Perky tits hehe
>>65102027booba
>>65102045>WHY DO MEN KEEP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN>Yo blacksmith, make me custom armor with muh tits hanging outWoman moment.
>>65102112Cleopatra used her objectification to expand her empire, not all women are screaming feminists, you should talk to one.
>>65102115What? Cleopatra saw her empire absorbed into Rome.
>>65102117Empires that big require local leadership, her power increased.
>>65102115Next president of the United States should be an Egirl with massive tits CONFIRMED. As proven by historical evidence.
>>65102027>as useful as nipples on a breastplate
>>65102127I don't think she actually had big tiddies
>>65102117Mark Anthony gave her Crete and some other places to try and better streamline defense of the east against the Parthians but the optics of giving away roman territory to what's technically a foreign state cost him in the propaganda war against Octavian.
>>65102144Boobplate is the female equivalent to codpieces or phalloi helmets.
>>65102144OK, I understand now. I'd invade and inseminate, too.
>>65102211Wow, someone who isn't just talking out of their ass.Neat.
>>65102124>Empires that big require local leadership, her power increased.Did you really just forget the part where she killed herself with a self-inflicted snake bite to avoid being dragged through the streets of Rome as the plaything for a Triumph? Or how her and Mark Antony's deaths were the final dramatic act of the Republic and marked the end of liberty in Rome, forever? Or do you need to re-watch the second season of Rome/Shakespeare's The Tragedie of Anthonie, and Cleopatra?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLHUKpkrh5c
>>65102215Why a monkey ?
>>65102027it even has nipples armor
>>65102036>Lol no, even the Romans only provided leather to the elite units.what
>>65102411The Roman empire collapsed ~500AD, the first use of plate was about 700 year later.
>>65102245It's from a fantasy setting, she is meant to be a !not-nubian.>>65102432The Romans actually used lorica musculata. So did the Greeks.Largely ceremonial, like OP's pic.
>>65102551>It is commonly depicted in Greek and Roman art, where it is worn by generals, emperors, and deities during periods when soldiers used other types.Once again, the good shit was for the rich.
>>65102144realistically, she probably didn't have red hair, though the hazel eyes are not unlikelyit is more likely that she would have looked like those brunette Italian girls>>65102218she was also said to be learned, literate and slender, and a pretty canny politician all said and done. no wonder Caesar spent a month yachting and fucking her up and down the Nile.
>>65102559>Once again, the good shit was for the rich.Ceremonial armor for the general is really a very special case. But the Romans absolutely used scale armor of various types, and later (chain)mail for every soldier. They essentially invented an iron/smithing industry to have that.That ended in the west when the migration period ended centralized Roman power, but the East absolutelly maintained that for centuries.
>>65102651>she probably didn't have red hairProbably alighter brown/auburn thing, fromm what we know hair colors in Greece, Italy and Spain were a lot lighter back then.
>>65102036>>65102045Can you really call yourself Emporer if you don't have multiple queen units under your command?
>>65102230>Or how her and Mark Antony's deaths were the final dramatic act of the Republic and marked the end of liberty in Rome, forever? That was Sulla's proscriptions, the Republic was shit>Or do you need to re-watch the second season of Rome/Shakespeare's The Tragedie of Anthonie, and Cleopatra?Medieval Bongistani politics disguised as history, Augustus objectively made Rome a better place, freer, fairer, more stable, and ensured it would last a thousand years more.
>>65102432you're factually a fucking retard. lorica segmentata was plate. It wasn't one full piece of metal, but if a Brigandine is plate armor then so is a Segmentata.
>>65102215it's literally just a muscle cuirass (female)
>>65102144>>65102651>>65102723I'm sure I remember reading once that the Potolemeic dynasty were mostly blonde, and remained so through prolific incest. Like real life Lannisters.
>>65102820>That was Sulla's proscriptionsEh, Sulla arguably made the collapse of Roman democracy inevitable but it limped on for a few more decades.>the Republic was shitEverything great about the Pax Romana was built on the institutional fumes that the Republic had left behind. It's no coincidence that the Golden Age came to an end as the Republic and the early Principate completely vanished from living memory.>Medieval Bongistani politics disguised as historyFair enough, Julius Caesar is still Shakespeare's greatest work though (Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet are slop and belong in the trash).>Augustus objectively made Rome a better place, freer, fairer, more stable>by coring out every institution until Rome could only be ruled by strongmen who became progressively more corrupt, authoritarian, decadent, and retarded (the Year of the Four Emperors occurred less than 60 years after his death)He may have meant well but Augustus objectively set Rome up for its eventual failure
>>65102893what I remember reading is that they were mostly fat, like real life Manderlysexcept Cleoand that was one big (heh) reason why people liked her
>>65103035I've always had the impression the empire was a huge improvement for the provinces but I have no idea if that's actually true. Thoughts?
>>65103035>Everything great about the Pax Romana was built on the institutional fumes that the Republic had left behind.>by coring out every institution until Rome could only be ruled by strongmen who became progressively more corrupt, authoritarian, decadent, and retarded (the Year of the Four Emperors occurred less than 60 years after his death)No, the Republic was collapsing specifically because all of its institutions had been thoroughly raped by populism before Augustus came around and removed them, like tax farming, importing slaves and freeing them in bulk to create instant patronage-based estates and make a mockery of democracy in front of the assembly(sounds fucking familiar now), and enacted the most basic of morality laws like Papia Poppaea.>It's no coincidence that the Golden Age came to an end as the Republic and the early Principate completely vanished from living memory.The golden age would arrive in Rome a full 100 years after the Republic was stomped into the ground, in the period until the actual crisis of the third century you have objective metrics that say Rome ONLY improved like number of graves for middle and middle-high class people explicitly detailing they got out of poverty and could achieve upwards social mobility, number of cities with public works, a decrease in infant mortality rates, a gradual decrease of slave labor vs paid ciitizen labor, a bulk of useful civic jurisprudence being made specifically during that time incorporated into the later Corpus Iuris Civilis and of course, the pax romana itself. The Senate wasn't even done away with, they were forced to do their fucking jobs as a legislative body instead of a greedy oligarch mill.
>>65102230>the end of liberty in Rome, foreverIt didn't actually turn out to be forever, 'just' nearly two millennia.
>>65102411WTF is happening, every legionnaire, some 60k had lorica hamata. Some guys would buy their own lorica segmenta if they liked it. But everyone from the Punic wars and beyond had metal armor, maybe bronze for the hastati, and such. But absolutely all the legionaries.Also leather armor was extremely rare atleast in europe. the romans used it for ceremonial armor mostly, and decoration.
>>65102859Here's my hot take, Segmentata and Brigandines are closer to Lamellar armor than Plate armor
>>65103272segmentata was very much plate armor, just not the rivet fastened articulated plate armor of the 14th century Europe, a very similar thing to the earlier coat of plates with a different fastening method that made good use of the manufacturing technology Rome had at the time. obviously it's not comparable to articulated plate and has notable downsides to it, as well as a different purpose and battlefields it was used in that all influence its construction.brigantine is a special case because it intentionally made use of the smaller plates than its predcessor to make it more form fitting and more importantly reuse metal scraps from other plate armor to make it cheap. high-end brigandines used large plates in areas that needed more protection and less mobility like half-breastplates in conjunction with small plates elsewhere.
>>65102891All she needs.
>>65103307My wife has a set just like that. Good times. Before the kids came she used to wear it to ren faires and cosplay conventions.
>>65103916I was gonna say "nice" but then you said ren faire and i have never seen a non-fat person let alone a hot woman there
>>65104037>you said ren faire and i have never seen a non-fat person let alone a hot woman thereI still want to believe.
