What did Romans wear for war?

Answer 1

All Roman soldiers wore a uniform and armour. This was to protect them against being wounded in battle. A legionary wore a linen undershirt and a tunic made of wool.
Helmet- On the front of the helmet , about 3" above the rim is a protrusion protecting the forehead. This was designed to prevent sword blows from penetrating the helmet and causing head injuries.The rear of the helmet had a guard that protected the neck from sword blows.
Body Armour- The body armour made from overlapping iron strips. These metal strips were fastened with hooks and laces at the front and hinged at the back. These were held together by vertical leather strips on the inside. This enable the soldier to be well protected and also be flexible enough to allow him to bend. The armour was strengthened by front and back plates below the neck. The shoulders were protected by a pair of curved pieces.

Answer 2

The Roman soldiers wore one of three types of armour. The Lorica hamata is a type of mail armour which was made of iron and was strong and flexible. It was made of rings with an inside diameter of 5-7 mm, and an outside diameter of 7-9 mm. The shoulders had flaps which run from mid-back to the front of the torso. The Lorica squamata was armour made from small metal scales sewn to a fabric backing. The scales were wired together in horizontal rows that were then laced or sewn to the backing. They overlapped in every direction, creating multiple layers and giving good protection. The lorica segmentata consisted of metal plates made of soft iron inside and mild steel on the outside, which hardened them without becoming brittle. They were arranged horizontally, overlapping downwards, and were fastened at the front and back. It also had shoulders guards and breast and back plates. This armour could be separated into four sections and packed. It provided greater protection than the Lorica hamata for half of the weight.

The soldiers also wore a helmet (cassis), armguards (manicae) and greaves (leg protectors), a woollen tunic, a scarf (focale) to protect the neck from the armour, a belt (belteus), underpants (subligaria), an apron of leather or fabric strips (pteruges) worn around the waist to protect the upper legs and often fitted with small metal studs and plates for additional protection, and the military boots (caligae). The soldiers could also wear one of two cloaks the sagum or the paenula.
