Description –
The Scale Armor, also known as the Lorica Squamata Armor, was used by the Roman army men for a long time. Predominantly, the armor is known to have been widely used between the I & II centuries. There are no archaeological remains of any complete Squamata armor, but scholars present the idea that they were first introduced during the Dracian wars. Such a type of armor was interchangeably used between a Lorica Segmentata (plate armor) and a Lorica Hamata (maille armor).
