Customer Rating: 5 ratings

Believed to have been introduced in the ranks of the Roman Army during the first century A.D. and widely used at the height of the Roman Empire. Although it never completely replaced the mail (Lorica Hamata, #300398) and scale armor (Lorica Squamata), for the modern mind the Lorica Segmentata typifies the Roman soldier. Our replica is superb, made by Windlass Steelcrafts® 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 armor is quite flexible and allows plenty of freedom of movement. Fits chest sizes from 42" to 46".
  • Wt: 17 lbs/6 oz

They actually offered this in their daily deal. My God! Comes in four pieces, which after some familiarizing go together quickly & well. This makes the armor easy to store, too. Comes lightly oiled, and polished up nicely just with paper towels. Sturdy leather straps are pierced along the centerline and rivets are decently broad & well-finished, no lazy riveting. Attachment points are all solidly placed. Check the interior rivet-heads as some may have rough edges and may need minor hammering or filing to protect your tunic. Once again, bigger men beware! I'm 5'10" and 200 lbs, and I can BARELY squeeze into this. As is common with Windlass, they seem to undersize their armor products. Lovely as this armor is, if you're bigger than me don't bother.
