Lorica Segmentata

The Lorica Segmentata is believed to have been introduced in the ranks of the Roman Army during the first century A.D. and was widely used at the height of the Roman Empire. Although it never completely replaced the mail (Lorica Hamata) and scale armour (Lorica Squamata), for the modern mind the Lorica Segmentata typifies the Roman soldier.

This replica is superb and has been made of 18 gauge steel. It is closely copied from a type of Lorica found in Newstead, Scotland, that dates from the second century A.D. This armour is quite flexible and allows plenty of freedom of movement.
