Being one of the 'Late guys' Andy mentioned, I agree with him. The Lorica hamata would have been the most common armor around, infantry and cavalry alike. A squamata would be made from scales (currently busy with that) but I'm not sure if the Romans even had a word for lamellar armour. But there seems to be evidence of this being around. How does yours look? (Best aswer this in one of the other sections so we'll get noticed ) <p>Valete,<br>
