I have been researching Sasanian arms and armour for 2 years now and have updated the respective sections in accordance with the latest research. Why were my edits undone?
My additions are still incomplete however. I will be adding detailed sectioned on helmets and lamellar shortly.

More common, the usage of the alphabet 'b' is rarely used. 'Aswaran' is also more used, especially in major sources. --HistoryofIran (talk) 01:43, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Name
editThe section "Etymology" can be changed to "Name". I added information regarding the name from Iranica ("Aswar" article). Iranica mentions "asp ud mard" and then mentions the spelling as "GBRA W SWSYA" which I have altered because at least in Paikuli inscription it is SWSYA W GBRA (Mid Pers.) / SWSYN W GBRYN (Parthian) and also it matches the translation that the Iranica article has provided, since SWSYA is the spelling for "asp" and "GBRA" for "mard" (see Mackezie's Pahlavi Dictionary). BTW, this formula "man and horse" is also used in Western literature. --Z 15:21, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
