Underneath - Day 147 - Chainmaille

Chainmaille is a type of armour sometimes worn "underneath" a knights tunic for protection. Although chainmail is believed to be a Celtic invention, the Romans adopted it in about the 3rd century B.C.E. A thousand years later, it was being used throughout Europe. The principle behind chainmail is the linking of metal rings. Connecting rings together in this way is sometimes referred to as knitting or weaving maille. Although this calls to mind the way a chain is made, the metal rings are linked in much more elaborate ways than a simple chain. The rings are connected together to form sheets.

Aged - Day 146 - Ancient Roman Wall

I think this really qualifies for the "Aged" theme. This Roman wall is from the late 2nd or 3rd century. William the Conqueror used this wall to form the eastern side of his castle. In the 12th century the Wardrobe Tower (at the Tower of London) was built on the remains of the late Roman bastion.

Movie Title - Day 145 - A Few Good Men

Here are "A Few Good Men" from the UK's armed forces. They were also visiting the Tower of London. Since my favorite color is red I stopped them and asked for their picture. The one in the center surely seems to be of a higher rank than the others, but I don't know too much about any armed forces ours or theirs. But their uniforms sure are pretty. LOL
