The Roman Army is known for employing multiple forms of armor over the many centuries of its existence. By far the most well known of these is Lorica Segmentata, armor of banded plates that are fastened together to form rigid protection.
Although this armor was still used during the crisis of the third century, it is possible that its use would have been more rare than lorica Hamata (mail armor.) Fragments of Lorica Segmentata have been found widely throughout the empire, such as at the city of Zeguma. Located in modern day Turkey, near the Syrian border. Zeguma was the headquarters of Legio III Scytica, and was the site of a siege brought by the Sassanid Persian Empire.
This set is intended to depict those men as best as possible, with the usual variety of Roman weaponry (Spatha, Lancea, Plumbata,) as well as command options like a cornu horn.
