Quote:Remember equipment was standardized like a factory. Factories centralized by governments only existed in the 4th century(Fabricae). In the 2nd centuries, arms making was made in Legion forts in a privatized form. That is the primary reason why the Galea went out of service. The rivited Ridge helmet was simpler to standardize. Segmentata was harder to repair and standarize to the level of comfortability of the individual soldier.
My assumtion is most Hamata was better quality because the process of making wire is harder with low quality iron.
Galea means helmet. Are you stating helmets stopped being used by Romans? When was this?
