FUNCTIONAL ROMAN ARMOR IF-200760

FUNCTIONAL ROMAN ARMOUR

You beat your sword against your rounded shield, shouting alongside your legionaries outside the gates of Syracuse. Inside, its people are filled with terror, deafened by the trumpets and noise of your army. Arrows rain down and you and your fellow soldiers form a barrier with your shields.

There is nothing that can stop you. The design of your shield allows you to stand in close formation, advancing on your defenders and dispatching them quickly. Even if an arrow makes its way through the cracks, your Roman Legion armor will keep you fully protected.

DETAILS

The Roman Legion Armor from Epic Armoury is a flexible plate cuirass inspired by the lorica segmentata worn by ancient Roman infantry. The Roman Legion protects the torso and abdomen with overlapping vertical laminae. Large cauldrons protect the shoulders and upper arms while providing additional protection to the armpits and upper chest.

Secure the Roman Legion armour by tightening the leather strap across the chest and tying the leather cord through brass fittings at the front of the abdomen. Made from 1mm thick polished mild steel and top grain leather straps, this piece of armour is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or re-enactment with regular care of leather and metal armour.

Available in medium and large sizes.
