[Aemilius Paulus]

Well, I always though lorica segmentata was the most refined and sophisticated mass-produced and relatively durable (yes, I know one of its major issues was coming apart) example of its kind. And that is not Roman fanboy-ism speaking in me. The Medieval armour Elmetiacos showed was attached to a base, and the Mycenaean charioteer armour was rather bulky and simplified.

Oh, and yes, those two are more like laminated armour, as oudysseos wisely noted.
