He's wearing leather, or I'm becoming blind? Tongue

Hehe, that's leather indeed. But that's not a 1st century AD soldier, the period you are inquiring about.

I believe Faventivs based his leather lammelar armour on 3rd century finds from Dura Europos. But I'm not sure if the leather armour parts that were found belonged to Roman armour.
