The title says it all; in the courses I took I was taught that Lorica Segmentata was more effective; but common sense that we know what Romans called mail armor, what they called their gambesons and the fact that mail dominated before and after segmentata and that it may have been the majority armor during it's two centuries of use tell me that there is more to it.
So here goes the main question; how does Lorica Segmentata do against the weapons available to Rome's enemies and is Lorica Hamata a better armor?
