some of that rajput armor looked more like mughal armor. i thought rajputs went into battle much more lightly armored than that...............you learn something everyday i guess.
and i thought the chakram/quoit was a sikh weapon??? i remember some british writer saying that the sikhs "kept their quoits (chakram) under their turbans so as to conceal them"
there are so many weapons they could have used. i guess they picked the 4 they thought would be most effective...
i agree with the outcome, the centurion was a better warrior in a legion than on his own.
