Roman Infantry Equipment

As a result of both internal and external pressures on the Empire, the third century was a period of transition and transformation for the Roman army. It saw changes in its role, organisation and equipment. The third-century infantryman looked fundamentally different from his early Empire counterpart - and in the following centuries the physical image of the army was to change yet again.

Having looked briefly at the tactics of the army, Ian Stephenson deals systematically with defensive equipment (helmets, body armour, shields, greaves etc); offensive equipment, whether for close combat (spear, sword, pugio) or long-range missiles (javelin, pila, bow, sling); and other military equipment (tunic, trousers, belts, shoes, tools).

Throughout he also considers how each piece of equipment was used - not just how it looked.
