Why did the Romans even adapt Lorica Segmenta later on ? Was it easier to make than mail ? Cheaper ? They did it cause it was honestly badass looking and gangster?

What's this thing about lorica segmentata looking good, anyway? It's ugly as hell, especially when compared to the lorica hamata.

It was tinned, so it was shiny.Originally Posted by Kahju
The answer is simple, it's light, perhaps as little as half the weight of hamata, though usually more. It's also great if one of the torsion arms breaks off a ballista and hits you in the gut.

the Lorica segmentata is not ugly. It makes you look badass, with that shoulder armor and its really shiny. but the Hamata is just...... dull.

Yeah, you can move your shoulders in hamata a sight eisier though.
