Description
The lorica squamata is a type of scale armor used by the ancient Roman military during the Roman Republic and at later periods. It was made from small metal scales sewn to a fabric backing. It is typically seen on depictions of standard bearers, musicians, centurions, cavalry troops, and even auxiliary infantry, as well as regular legionaries. Image from page 143 of "De militia Romana libri qvinqve commentarivs ad Polybivm" by Justus Lipsius, 1602 edition.
