Summary edit

Description
English: Ancient Roman Legion

Roman Legion Imperial Roman army

  • Aquilifer with a feline (leopard) headdress and lorica segmentata

Animal skins were worn over the helmet with bearskins being popular among legionaries and feline among with Praetorians.[9] Ancient Roman taxidermists would retain the entire body and the head, with the front legs tied to fasten over the armor. The animal's head would fit over the soldier's helmet, and mostly was worn by the Roman aquilifer who carried the symbol of Rome into battle.

The lorica segmentata was armour which consisted of broad ferrous strips fastened to internal leather straps. The strips were arranged horizontally on the body, overlapping downwards, and they surrounded the torso in two halves, being fastened at the front and back by means of brass hooks, which were joined by leather laces.

  • Busts of Roman miltary leaders.
