WARRIORS – DETAIL FROM THE BAS-RELIEF OF PORTA ROMANA – YEAR 1171 – CITY MUSEUM, MILAN

 

The humble citizens of free cities can now hold their own against the imperial militia, because their longing for independence is garrisoned by their militia.

Even humble citizens wear full armor: earthenware helmets with slight corners and a nosepiece; mail armor made out of metal scales or chain mail with a hood to protect the cheeks and head; lances and oval shields engraved with emblems.
