HELL YES to this ridiculous armour that actually looks like it would work.Like it says on the tin. What elements from history and historical technology have made it into your homebrew setting—whether technology, events, etc.?
For example, I was reading up on the Mycenaeans, and saw a reconstruction of the Dendra armor (see below) and immediately thought of dwarven elite warriors.

But, beyond that, my homebrew setting features an empire that takes inspiration from both the Roman Empire under Marcus Aurelius as well as the Mauryan Empire under Ashoka, but begining to strain under its own weight so to speak.
Personally, history-wise, I'm just really overly attached to Dark Ages-era cultures, real and fictional - Byzantium, Frankia, The Old North/Hen Ogledd, and so on, basically anything except the bloody Vikings, I've had enough of the bloody Vikings!
