	Legion XXIV - Corbridge Type-B Lorica Segmentata Armor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Enlarged isometric diagram of Lorica Segmentata "Corbridge" Armor Type-B. Note that the shoulder guard components are connected to the torso girdle section by bronze hooks and eyes, instead of by straps and buckles, as used on the Corbridge Type-A lorica armor.
		This was a later style of the Corbridge type lorica segmentata armor and retained most of the wearing comfort of the Corbridge Type-A. The "hook and eye" connections, along with one less girdle plate (7 versus 8 for the Corbridge-A) simplified its construction and assembly.
		Lorica Segmentata "laminated" type body armor was adopted by the Roman Legions in the early part of the First Century AD and was in use into the early Third Century AD, when it fell out of favor.

		The lorica segmentata was a type of armour primarily used in the Roman Empire, exploiting Hellenistic Greek technology, but the Latin name was first used in the 16th century (the ancient form is unknown).
		The main problem with the lorica segmentata was its complexity, making its components prone to attrition and corrosion.
		It fell out of use during the 3rd century A.D., but similar armouring techniques were used during the 16th century, employing sliding rivets and this was known as Anima.

		Lorica segmentata (the term is modern) was an articulated armour of iron plates and hoops.
		However, the use of lorica segmentata was never as total as these monuments would suggest: ring mail was the most common armour in the Roman world for all categories of troops.
		The two basic types of lorica segmentata were the Corbridge type, in use until the early second century, and the more robust Newstead variety, introduced late in the first century and still in limited use in the mid-third century.

	BODY ARMOR
		The armor is made of rectangular or polygonal plates of sheet iron (mild steel in most modern reconstructions) bent to conform to the shape of the body and held together on the inside by a skeleton of leather straps riveted to the plates.
		By the second century AD, the lorica segementata was in widespread use throughout the Roman legions; however, mail seems to have remained the most common form of body armor for specialist troops such as standard bearers (signifiers, imagnifers, aquilifers), musicians, and centurions.
		Lorica segmentata, hamata, and probably squamata were worn with an arming vest featuring padded shoulders, which helped distribute the weight of the armor.

	Devt of the lorica
		Around the beginning of the Augustan period it appears that experimental prototypes of a new form of lorica started to be introduced for some legionary troops— the lorica segmentata.
		Although later into the Imperial period the lorica segmentata appears to have become more widespread (if the sculptural relief on Trajan’s column is accurate), the assumed use by all legionary troops may not be correct.
		Segmentata may have been used even then by units of heavily armoured troops, and may not exclusively have been restricted to legionary, and not auxiliary troops.

	Legio XX Lorica Segmentata
		"Lorica" is Latin for "armor"; "segmentata" is a modern term applied to the classic Roman iron cuirass of bands or hoops, introduced by the late first century BC.
		In the second century AD the Newstead style of lorica came into use; it is too late for most Legio XX activities but there is a page of notes for it as well.

		On my Albion lorica the lacing loops are horizontally offset on both the left and right sides in the back, and there is no horizontal offset in the front.
		The way in which the Newstead type girth hoops fasten make it clear that the Corbridge type was also designed to have the girth hoops overlap - in other words, the tie loops on one half are set back from the vertical edge, whilst the other are at the edge.
