Lorica Segmentata after Newstead find

This Lorica Segmentata is made of 18-gauge steel. The armor's design enables freedom of movement. Fits chest sizes 42–46 inches. 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. Our replica, designed by Luca Giampadi, is superbly made 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. More information...
