Lorica HegminSegmintata

Romikkan Chain mail was used by tribals from the Central Tribes of Orbis. The word Lorica translates to "Chain",Hegmin meaning "Plate", and Segmintata meaning "Whole Armor. The first type of Armor for the Legion of the Romikkan Empire was just the Lorica, usually hidden and worn over a cloth or linen shirt. By the Age of Gallius military engineers devolved Hegmin or plates to go over the chainmail covering the shoulders and a small portion of the torso and back. By the end of Gallius' reign the new armor developed for maximum protection of the arms,shoulders,and feet made of plate with chainmail leggings and chain mail underneath was in full service. However during the late 900's B.F after a string of bad Emperors the Empire of Romikka could no longer afford to continue to make Lorica HegminSegmintata. Only elite units like the Purple Praetorian Guards and Golden Palatina Guards had standardized Lorica HegminSegmintata.The main army reverted to using only the Lorica.
However thanks to the advancement of the Empire of Romikkan armor, many cultures would copy the style of plates used to make the armor or completely revamp and re-shape their own type of armor. By the rule of Quinitus Barbacanous the first few knights in full sets of plate armor began appearing throughout Nara.
