    Manica (armguard)

    A manica (Latin: manica, "sleeve") was a type of iron or bronze arm guard, with curved and overlapping metal segments or plates, fastened to leather straps, worn by Roman gladiators called crupellarii, and later by soldiers.

    Origins and early use

    As early as Achaemenid times, there were references to "cheires" which consisted of hoops of metal that would be worn on the rein arm of a cavalryman. Hooped armour became extremely popular in the Saka, Parthian, and Kushan kingdoms and was used on both arms and legs. They can be seen at Khalchayan and on many pieces of Parthian artwork. In addition, two pieces were excavated at Taxila, dating to the 1st Century.

    Roman troops fought crupellarii in the revolt of Florus and Sacrovir of 21 AD. From Trajan's Dacian Wars come the only representational evidence for the use of the manica, and we do not know if its use in that campaign was widespread or rare. Manicae (along with metal greaves) are attested as a supplement to metal body armour on several reliefs depicting that campaign, including the Tropaeum Traiani at Adamclisi and Trajan's Column.

    by: Monica

    da da da da dum
    um um
    yeah yeah, oh, ho oh oh
    oh wo
    um, can I talk to you for a minute?
    inseparable, that's how we were
    through anything, you were my world
    i gave to you, you shared with me
    for the love of you, i'd give anything
    i would chill with you
    you and your crew
    never complained 'bout the things you do
    but it see it now, how it all went down
    can't take no more
    don't want you around
    never told me the whole truth
    now i'm wishing that i knew
    the real you...
    how could you do this to me?
    never hurt so much
    i see, plans i made for you and me
    they can't be...
    these are the last tears that you'll see from me
    cause i ain't gonna cry no more
    cause i'm sick of you hurting me
    i ain't gonna cry no more
    'cause you don't deserve me
    i ain't gonna cry no more
    pack your stuff up and leave
    i ain't gonna cry no more
    cause i'm tired of you, me and she
    and now i can't believe all the things you did
    all your secret trips, just to see your kids
    what about the crib that i've never been?
    is that the one that she lives in?
    but soon you'll see
    that the man he's not
    the "un-love" affair will soon be forgot
    and you will miss me, but i won't miss you
    you can pull the key, cause now we're through
    never told me the whole truth
    never wishing that i knew the real you...
    you didn't have to do what you did to me
    never hurt so much i see
    plans we made for you and me
    they can't be
    these are the last tears that you see from me
    used to think that you and me were in love for sure, but iwas wrong because
    but you led me on, but i was wrong
    but now i found i don't need you around
    you gotta bounce
    i'm tired
    ain't gonna cry
    i ain't gonna cry
    it's not the fact that it's your baby
    but it's the fact that you lied
    and you hurt me
    pack your stuff and leave
    i'm sick of you
    i'm through with you
    i'm done with you
    i'm tired of you
    i'm tired of your lies
