Roman Body Armor

During the expansion of Rome and the acquisition of new territory, the Roman army often encountered severe resistance and bloody clashes. The military needs protection that can safely protect soldiers and guarantee Rome's victory. That's why we need to save soldiers on the battlefield to implement armor (upper body). Armor must be made to meet certain criteria in order to be useful: the first of these criteria is that the armor should be flexible enough to move freely during battle .

The focus of the program lies in the important records of the Romans. We stared at the shadow of ancient corps again and again: their mirrors, armor, bondage, bedroom, their own representatives. Some of them are from Museo Nazionale Romano di Palazzo Massimo which has an impressive statue from Roman world. Our students are asked to consider the personality of the statue. Many Roman statues are described as "copies" of the original Greek version, but the collection emphasizes that the work is a personal interpretation. The statue had no paint or original background, it was pale color against the bright gray wall of the spotlight. Side by side, it is easy to see small and heavy differences between them: Squatting Venus' unique belly fat roll, Various muscle tissue of Discoboulos. This effect is an uneasy idea that these people are genuine people.

The Roman used three main types of protective clothing: postal, size and subdivision. All protective clothing is worn in an armed double layer with a pad. Postal items are usually made of iron rings and each is riveted to the other four holes or welding rings. The scale armor is made of small plates of iron or copper alloy, they are attached horizontally to the neighbors and are sewn on cloth and leather lining. Roman soldiers have a rectangular shield curved to the left. The shield is usually made of two or three layer plywood. They feature a copper alloy bonded edge covering the horizontal handle and a central iron or copper alloy boss. At a later stage, shields made of elliptical wooden boards were used. Rome helmets are made of iron or copper alloys (bronze and brass are known). The main features are the bowl, the guard of the neck (to prevent striking the neck), the cheek part (protecting the side of the face), eyebrows.

The animal's skin is worn by a helmet and the bear's skin is very popular among the army corps like a cat. Ancient Roman specimens hold the body and the whole head, and the forefoot is tied to the armor. The head of the animal is attached to a helmet of a soldier and is mainly worn by a Roman aquarium. The act of wearing a coat (such as a robe or cerebral cortex) is called amicire, and individual coats may be identified as authors and it is not considered necessary to indicate which coat is being mentioned. The same term as wearing underwear like a middle film is induere (indutus).
