Er, the Celts fought absolutely naked. And warriors in Xena's "time" wore "skirts." So to speak.
Yeah, and look what happened to them.But I was being facetious. I could have demolished my own argument just by citing the Romans, or the Spartans (though I'd overlooked the Zulus - mind you, look what happened to them as well).
My preference for lots of armour is largely an aesthetic whim, which is why I prefer Excalibur and the 13th Warrior over swords'n'sandals epics. Another aesthetic whim is for women who aren't depicted in babe mode, so Xena doesn't really have a prayer where I'm concerned.
ObB7: I seem to be in a minority that actually liked Cally's red Saurian Major outfit. It makes her look chunky.
