Roman Crocodile Armor (3rd Century AD), was a form of protective gear crafted from tough hide of Nile crocodiles. Romans likely adopted this type of armor during their conquests in Egypt and other regions where crocodiles were prevalent.

Crocodile armor was not as widely used as other types of Roman armor, and scholars believe that it might have been worn during processions or ceremonies, rather than in combat.

This week I've been mainly reading, no. 148.

The first book of Ann Leckie's Radch trilogy, Ancillary Justice (2013) offers an interesting plot of AI, identity & insurrection. Leckie builds an interesting (political) world/universe for her tale of revenge & becoming, which while at times a little too tricksy, overall remains a compelling bit of space-opera. If at times the plot seems a little too convoluted, the central idea(s) is/are intriguing & developed interestingly

@ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon Librarian friend loaned it to me with the warning (apparently common for this book) โ€œOK, just trust me, get throught the first 100 pages.โ€

Oddly, the second was my favorite. The trilogy remains one of my top reads of the past decade.
