Roman mail was a lot shittier than German and Celtic mail armor, and an imitation to begin with. Their first encounter with mail armor was among the Germanics and Celts.
Anyone who thinks Rome was somehow more advanced than their neighbors in every single way, is just söyguzzling literal judeochristian propaganda designed to falsely paint christianity as a force that "civilized" Europeans when in reality it was a cult of savage desert sheep rapists, forced on Europeans who had all been the only civilized folk on the planet already for tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of years.
