EB Historians Hear Me Out

Historically, the Marians also happened in 107 BC. The trigger in EB is 190 BC, and I believe the Imperial happen some 50 years after that. Even if you reach them in 100 BC (which is quite far in the campaign), you would be more than 100 years BEFORE the first use (!) of the Lorica Segmentata.

I hate LS...

From a purely aesthetic point of view, I prefer the serious utilitarian look of chain-mail to the Hollywood cliché over-polished LS. Even on an inexperienced soldier, chain-mail adds a menacing quality for some reason.

Speaking of Hollywood- how about a leather LS than

Tellos, Hax, I got both of yours reasons why it is not a good idea. I will be sitting ashamed in the corner for a while.
