The torso armour of Roman soldiers was the lorica hamata (mail armour), the lorica squamata (scale armour) or the lorica segmentata (broad iron strips across the body and overlapping downwards fastened to internal leather straps; additional vertical plates protected the upper arms and there was a breastplate protecting the upper torso). Greaves provided leg armour. Romans soldiers also wore a variety of helmets. The officers’ helmets had a crest at the top, so that they could be easily seen by the troops.
The soldiers wore a linen undershirt and a woollen tunic which covered the upper part of their legs. The cingulum (belt) was a soldier’s badge of office and was worn with the tunic at all times. The ‘apron’ was attached to the belt. This was a collection of decorated leather strips which gave some protection to the groin. The jingling noise they made when the soldiers marched helped to intimidate the enemy. The footwear was the caliga, leather sandals.
The soldiers also carried a heavy pack over their shoulders to carry their supplies. It weighed 90 pound and included saucepans, a shovel and apickaxe.
