The Armour of Imperial Rome,
this style of body defense was in use by Roman soldiers from the second
quarter of the 1st Century CE and for almost three hundred years following.
The Corbridge Type A lorica (named
from examples found buried at Corbridge and dated from the late 1st Century)
was most likely the principal design in use.
This version, is of 18 ga.
steel with brass fittings and copper rivets. The shoulder pieces and girdle
are fully articulated and the neck and arm openings and bottom edges are
rolled for safety and comfort.
Please specify chest measurement
(with whatever padding you will be used) when ordering to ensure the best
fit.
