when you put on the armor or rome you your self are reliving the life of a roman soldier and his history I WANT THAT ARMOR T_T

My left ear enjoyed this video.

Gallic style, standard issue for legionaries in the 1st Century AD

Can you imagine hundreds of soldiers putting their kit altogether at once? Awesome video and thanks for sharing.

Besides the jingling and the alck of ability to look down yeah. It was alot cheaper and quicker to make than chainmail but I also feel it gives a special look to the roman army. A unique look which imediatly identifies them as a roman.

I am from the future, i came to say: Corona.

The Latin name was focale, and it was worn to prevent the armor from chafing your neck. I believe it was generally made of wool, just like their bad-weather cloak (called the sagum) and helmet padding.

I think I actually prefer the look of the white tunic over the red and blue ones. Something about it that looks much cool like the Clone and Storm Troopers from Star Wars.

Yeah, that was cool!

@legoman580 bloody Gauls..damn that kit looks heavy. Did I miss something....no lower garments or armour?

they would wear pants wool socks that sort of thing all based on weather but they avoided lower body armor because the shield worked well enough and they prefered the mobility. There were a form of shin armor that strapped onto the sandals but i dont think it was used often at all.

the legs were usually bare to increase the meanuverability the legion needed but was protected by the samnite-style shield that he carried

@DavidOwlGrove It was actually quite light, most likely around 40-60 lbs total. The shield would be the most cumbersome piece of equipment.

Pre.marian where not divided by clases, but by experience in the battlefield, hastati being the newest recruits(first to third large battle) principes being more experienced(third batlle and on) and the triarii being the elite veterans, of course the first where the ones in greater number and with greater losses, and rarely would the triarii have to fight, losing few and so needing less, leaving most up and coming soldiers to remain as principes for a long time

Cool, thanks

very cool!

Thats very bad comparation.Comparing it to Persia would be much closer.

Is that the imperical italic "C" type or "F" type helmet ? Nice vid :)

@123DROCK it hadsome issues though, namely, chainmail had no gaps between the plates and you could get UNDER the plates in a segmentata, so it was fairly good, but not perfect.

Where can you buy the padded undercoat and scarf?

@123DROCK Nero actually benefited the empire in the long run because he ordered wars against the persians, which actually went well. It wasn't until the crisis of the third century that rome began falling apart. Until Marcus Aurelius, the Empire was quite Stable.

mostly centurions would wear greaves. but more of a "show off" rather than for protection. they DID wore greaves a lot during the dacian wars, as a way to protect themselves agains the Falx.

You are a Roman hero :-D !

This is a very advanced and expensive type of armor that did not appear until late in the Empire and then, as far as I know, only for select units. Throughout Roman history, first-line infantry wore simple chain mail armor. Roman chain armor was of excellent quality and very effective, it just didn't look as impressive as the segmented armor. The segmented armor is called "lorica segmentata", a name invented by modern historians. We don't know the actual Roman name as no records remain.

Actually segmental form of armour(which existed as technology already many centuries before Romans first used it) was safely in use already during final decade of the 1st century BC-so very long before late Empire(whatever you mean with it).During late antiquty(by which you possibly mean that late Empire-although east actually continued for other 1000 years after fall of the western half) this torso armour was not used however,although it remained in use as limb protection.We have absolutely no evidence for segmental armour being anyhow significantly more expensive than other major armour types nor that Romans held segmental armour in anyhow higher asteem than other types but modernly this armour have very overhyped cult of exaggerated worshiping.We also lack evidence that it would be anyhow limited to just special lelected soldiers.Since fragments of this armour are relatively common find at Roman army sites it does not give impression of something reserved for elite only.

@nior000 Yep, they still use Romanesque tactics today. Kevlar vests are loosely based on Roman armour, for example.

@MrDarcscythe It would have to be a relatively powerful one, Longbow's weren't invented yet. Persian Composite bows were the largest threat.

what kind of armor dress that guy? are a Corbridge or a Newstead or other than I not know? is cool, somebody know about this?

nice video :)

I am interested in buying a set of Corbridge B Segmentata (I currently own the Cor A from Deepeeka). How do you like yours? Who made your set?

aight, thanks. i intend to make one, thinking of making a gallic type A (because it's easier lol)

Sure awsum

@ukcaelo may i ask you, what helmet is this? :)

whats that scarf thing they wore?

I stand corrected! Most of what I know about the Ancient gauls,Britanians, celts etc is based on the writings. Of Romans like Tacitus I've read a little of him I'm know expert.

i think i admire roman armor even more then knight armor.

I understand you. I think the a similar thing happened with Ancient Eygptian armies as well. 26Th Dynasty onwards mercenaries were heavily used.

Hey

@nior000 It's better designed because it's lighter and more flexible, whilst offering around the same amount of protection. Plate armour is much lighter than chain-mail, and the multiple pieces of armour mean than it's not all on the shoulders.

it hurts when you put the Lorica Segmentata on. I've tried it, and I was wounded by my own armor.

Actually I believe it's called Subarmalis for Roman use.

THAT FUCCKING SICK! WHERE DO U GET THAT STUFF FROM?

yea but anyone looks great in full armour and it makes u feel great

How did they get all that iron and steel to equip all those legions? Not to mention all those leather leather boots and tents.

The armer with the stomec in called muslie armer

@carloko08 Roman Legionary Plate Mail is known as Lorica Segmentata

scarf isnt really part of the uniform soldiers just wore them to stop the armour rubbing

@tacotony24 Wrong. Philip of Macedon created history's first paid professionally-trained standing army. Philip's son of course, was Alexander the Great.

no leg and hip protection?

They probably wore scarfs mainly to make an armour more confortable to wear.

i heard that the lorica segentata was actually issued because it was cheaper than maile? any truth to this??

it was a great replic of a shield and equipment but i think the part of begind of the helmet si too close to the ears is more at level of the neck and the arms because that dont protect of an atack from begind...but all the other stuff was great!!!

Actually, the lorica segmentata was very common amongst the western legions (not so much, if at all, in the warm climates of Anatolia and the middle east, due to the fact the segmentata turned you into a walking tin can that fries you). And there was also the Lorica Squamata (roman scale armour), which was also superior to the Hamata, and covered more of the warriors body (usually the upper arms, torso and thighs..

All armor turns you into a Giant dehydrated sweat machine. Doesnt mean it wasnt used in the hot climates still. Just as the crusaders in jerusalem LOL .... romans didnt have a hard time with this heat issue because they were smart with logistics to have large quantities and never ending supplies of water and sustenance in and out of all battlefields hot or cold.

@Corwin654 It's still a sword that's short, he probably knew what it was called, but it's only a youtube video.

Check out my rendition of the Ben-Hur Love Theme!

@ShowYourWorking: looks like a perfect fit to me, if it was too tight there would be space in the middle, also, you want your armor to be almost skin tight

Legionary Pullo? Legionary Pullo!! Legionary Titus Pullo!!!

interesting facts

and remember back in the day recycling was a big thing, and before the maridian(i believe thats the spelling not sure) reforms each soldier had to pay for their equipment, the ones with the better equipment usually being in the front line, go figure

The equipment must be very expensive

@LvpvsRomanvs i still wish no one invented guns, i'd for sure go to rome then

@tacotony24 i mean in movies. like the statues of caesars alll look central italian yet evey movie they use a british person or people.

i used to serve in the legions but then i took an arrow to the knee

Gladius is just a general latin word for sword-that means any sword.So it certainly werent name for short type of sword.Latin authors even use word gladius when describing long swords of the celts.

one reason is because the romans had let in too many groups of people disloyal to the empire such as the goths and the huns, they evan made the goths part of the roman army for a while which taught them roman tactics and gave them roman equipment.

My favor is froconia wearing :)

That's why they taken over whole sea.

the ancient comments

@whowantsabighug That one was my little brother screwing around on my account... I've since disabled the login on that computer... Srry for him being a little brat...

@LvpvsRomanvs I dont know, with the new lethality of weapons a much smaller army could be considered the mightiest, and nearly all the countries in the world have an army that would have beaten Romes. If you mean mightiest compared to other contries of it's time, then that is very hard to translate to modern day.

@123DROCK But then there would never have been such great emperors as Augustus, Hadrian and Marcus Auralius. Agree Nero was crazy, but he made Rome what it was architecturally. Much of the Rome we think of today is AD stuff.

That's how empires are made, my son. :)

@edinscot56789 i see. thanks for the info. the roman empire rules.

@effigyoflight Nope, that's the effect of having an Anglo-centric view of history. The longbow is a very basic and ancient bow design, Otzi the Icemen from 3300 BCE carried a yew longbow, practically identical to the English weapon. It's just that no culture at this point used it en masse in battle like the English did later (well that's not completely accurate either, the Nubians did actually, but they weren't that well known)

umm whats the leather cover for the shield for? Prevent rust? the scutum was one of the easiest and cheapest equipment to make back then. A big one kg extra leather would slow him down

@paprskomet

6 жыл бұрын

And making it wet would make it faaaar more heavier.That exactly why they used covers on it.These Roman shields("scutum" being general latin word for any shield not just those in rectangular shape) were from wood not from Iron(Iron was only central boss and sometimes framing of the shield) and were by no means "cheap".Such protective covers were also used for other parts of equipment.Fragments for shin protectors and helmets are also known.

he said short sword when it was called the gladeis

Really? Interesting fact! Is there a reason for it, or is it just tradition?

fun fact: Gladius also means penis in latin. which, if used in the context of a battle, can make for some very funny reading.

It makes you feel alot safer to because you are. theres nothing like knowing if a sword hits you it will all be fine but if you hit the other guy(unarmoured) he will die. haha

yeah thanks for telling me bout the name i remembered later, but you are wrong about the equipment, ultimately the best equipment soldiers did go in the back but that was because they were bodyguards or more important, but for the comon soldier after the marian reform the best equipment went first, otherwise alot of the poorer soldiers would be lost way to fast and most likely rout, starting a riot among the rest of the troops

Which II legion?There were several legions with that numeral you must state name of the Imperial legion not just number .However absolutely nothing is known about if any legion with that numeral wore white tunics as some speciality of their formation.White tunics were the most common in the ancient world and are widely documented also as being used in the Roman army widely no matter what legion.

Were not the romans famous for using short swords? I always though gladius was a short sword.

"Gladius" is just a general latin word for "sword"-any sword regardless type,shape or lenght of its blade.Its only modern pop culture which corrupted real meaning of that word into typological name for specific kind of short sword.But for real Romans it never had such typological meaning.
