What do you call the roman army armor?
In the 1st and 2nd centuries there were three types of armour: the lorica segmentata (laminated-strip cuirass) lorica squamata (scale armour) or lorica hamata (mail armour). Although the first one gave better protection, it was expensive and difficult to maintain and was later dropped. The third one became the main one. The manica (segmented armour) protected the arms. In the Republic soldiers wore metal greaves to protect the legs. They were less common later.
