How much could an average Roman soldier carry?
#10
How did you find me here, I am not surprised hahahaha, but yea I just don't like some of the Barbarian uniforms the late Roman army wore, the helmets, etc.

The Roman soldiers in that seem to be wearing what I was saying, except wearing the mail under, although I do wish to experiment with it one day, when I buy all the equipment, you seem to make mail seem heavier than it actually is. I have a friend who owns mail and says he takes it to work, and jogging, and it isn't as heavy as when your not wearing it. Because it distributes evenly throughout your body. The Musculata hangs from your shoulders, I hope to experiment with this sometime in the future, like try fighting in it, running in it. Marching, and all sorts of other things.
