SA1014 Armor Jacket – Lorica Segmentata

Armor Jacket – Lorica Segmentata –
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)
and scale armour (Lorica Squamata), for the modern
mind the Lorica Segmentata typifies the Roman
soldier. Our replica is superb, made in India of pure
natural leather 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. Wt. 17 lbs.
6 oz. Fits chest sizes 42 inches to 46 inches.
