Roman Legion
Epic Armoury's Roman Legion is a flexible plate cuirass modeled on the lorica segmentata worn by Ancient Roman infantry. Overlapping, vertical lamellae guard the torso and abdomen, while large pauldrons protect the shoulders, upper arms, armpits, and upper chest.
Tighten the leather strap across the chest and lace the leather cord through brass fittings up the abdomen to secure the armor. Made of polished 0.04 in thick mild steel with leather straps, it's built to withstand LARP or reenactment combat with regular leather and metal care.
- Available in sizes M and L
