The main armour of a soldier of this time consisted of a "Lorica Segmentata" cuirass whose segmented sections and hinged steel pieces riveted to leather straps afforded maneuverability with the added protection of plate steel. The front was laced to fit. The protection of the head was also vital, and this was accomplished by the wearing of a helm. Whether it be the simpler Roman Troopers Helm, worn by the great armies of Roman troopers or the Imperial Roman Helm with a magnificent red plume worn by Generals and those in command, either helm provided the needed protection to the head while still allowing for an unobstructed line of sight important in battle. Display strength and honor in your home or business with this museum quality beautifully handcrafted 18 gauge carbon steel Roman armor with brass detailing. Lorica Segmentata may vary slightly from photos.
