Lorica Segmentata

A church Christmas pageant became an excuse to try something new.

Although the exact time at which the Romans adopted the armor remains unknown, it is possible that the lorica segmentata was introduced after Crassus' defeat at Carrhae in 53 BC. Another possibility is that the armor was adopted in 21 AD after the Revolt of Julius Sacrovir and Julius Florus. One form of the armor was used as early as 9 AD. Because the soldiers at the Battle of Teutoberg Forest wore the lorica segmentata, it must have been in use before 9 AD. Around the middle of the third century the lorica segmentata fell out of favor with the Roman army, although it did remain in use during the Late Roman Empire.
