Reply To: Leather Lorica Segmentata – historical or Hollywood?

[Thaddeus Blanchette]

Just put yourself in the sandals of some second century tribune: if you had the cash, wouldn’t you give your men a walking-around set of leather armor for daily use? Sure. And could it be done? Easily.

So someone, somewhere in the Roman world, probably did it.

We get slapped around, but we have a good time!
