LEGIONARIUS OF THE MID 2ND CENTURY A.D.An extract from The Armies and Enemies of Imperial Romeby Phil Barker & Ian Heath 6. LEGIONARIUS OF THE MID 2ND CENTURY A.D. This man has a developed version of the Lorica Segmentata with simpler and stronger fastenings, warn over an undergarment with leather Pteruges. Auxiliary pattern breeches had been increasingly used on a semiofficial basis in inclement conditions over the previous hundred years, and now became standard at all times. They are often stated to have been of leather, but I know of no direct evidence for this, and wool seems more likely. |
