Ancient Rome was one of the greatest empires the
world has ever seen, an empire of unified government, and a strong army of
superbly well-drilled fighters whose discipline and weapons proved
superior to most. A great chapter in mans history and its understanding of
warfare in the classical world culminates from the battles fought by the
great armies of Rome and the legions of troopers whose loyalty and support
gave power to such Generals such as Julius Caesar.
The main armor 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
Roman troopers Helm, providing 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 hand-crafted 18 gauge Roman
armour with brass detailing.
