AWA411 - How did the Huns dress for war?
About this episode
The episode explores how the Huns dressed for war and compares their attire to that of other migration era peoples.
Jack asks: "Hi Murray Do we have enough information to actually describe how the Huns were dressed for war? Did they look much the same as the Goths or other migration era peoples? Is it a misconception to think they looked anything like the later Mongols? Did they go in for bright or rich fabrics in their panoply, like other Warrior cultures? I've heard that they were keen to get their hands on silk fabric, did they then wear this into battle? Join us on Patreon patreon.com/ancientwarfarepodcast
