I am not ignorant to the history of armor, but my point was simply that
a
flak jacket would be recognizable as armor by warriors of the past. As
for
the weight stated, not meant to be accurate, just pointing out that
between,
helmet, shield, cuirass, and greeves, it wasn't light. And whether or
not
bronze was worn by all or all the time, is not the issue, it's whether
it in
analogous to modern flack vests, which, bear a striking resemblance in
cut
and style to ancient body armor.

Anyhow, the humor has left the thread and the whipping of the dead
equine
has begun.

Take care,

Eli
