Roman Armor

I demand that all units recruited north of the Alps be given coats. I mean, it's freaking cold in the winter!

Anastasios, in case you're wondering the negative responses, a lorica segmentata thread crops up once a week here, and that's been happening for years. It's a bit ad nauseum topic. You can incite a historical debate here by starting a thread concerning almost anything else than lorica segmentata, exhibit A. Segmentata is just not a chord one wishes to strike around here.

But you guys will let me get away with all my "Celtic Cataphract" rants? Thats messed up!

I have a time machine so we can just take an example of Lorica Segmentata back to 272 BC and have the Romans use it then, that way we can have both in EB.

While we're at it let's take a couple of books on:
physics, biology, chemistry, history (let em know what's coming and how to avoid it), economics, and just for fun we can take a manual on how to make muskets and cannons and gunpowder. Legionnaires with guns, wtf!!!

Ah...I should have thought about that...especially since Rome is one of the most popular factions...I can imagine this question coming up all the time.

Don't take this the wrong way, this ain't a personal attack or anything. Just a chance to spam.

Change your name to Martin Padway, then go stand near the Pantheon and wait for lightning to strike. Twice.

Yeah, I'll propose cloaks for all peoples in the desert too! It's damn cold at night there.
