Production of loricae - Jona Lendering - 07-29-2009

Loricae must have been mass-produced; there must have been factory-like workplaces. I understand that in Late Antiquity, these production centers are known. But where were the Roman weapon factories in Republican times?

Bet Mike Bishop's written a paper on it. His one on the fabrica of the early principate is excellent.

Yup; I had a quick look and my printer is now making a paper copy for me. It's a good start.
