Lorica segmentata





Lorica segmentata
Segmentata Lorica is the name given to the armor that led the Roman legionaries during its heyday (first century BC-third century AD). The name comes from the Latin word for segmented, which refers to the division of metal plates of armor. Does not include red robe.
This name was first coined in the sixteenth century, so it is not known the true name given to the lorica segmentata in Roman times. The segmentata lorica consists of several metal strips (usually iron) which is available on the soldier's body in a horizontal position around your chest and back. They were joined inside by vertical bands of leather, which were nailed to each of the metal strips.
The armor can be opened from one side to the soldier could remove it. In addition, other bands consisted of upright metal which stood on the shoulders and protected them. The arms were unprotected, but this was of great importance, since in compact formation, the shield is carried in the left and the right gladius bare, glued to the hip, both being well protected.
