Description
Roman Legionary, Hamata with background.I added the background digitally.
Roman legionary from after the Marian reforms wearing a Lorica Hamata (mail armour) and a flat hexagonal scutum, style adopted from the Celts and Germans.
The sword is a Gladius Hispaniensis of a more Iberian traditional style with a more leaf shape and a longer blade (about 65 cm).
A great source for Roman military equipment is:
"Roman Military Equipment from the Punic Wars to the Fall of Rome, second edition."
By M. C. Bishop and J.N.S. Coulston
