Roman military equipment in Republican times
#3
Actually, and not wanting to sound like a know-it-all, there. Is a shit load of info available on this forum, and
Generally available, on the rebublican period!
Simplest ex is to say they wore montefortino helmets, chainmail/ Brest plates long, curved scuta with spina and bosses of butterfly or acorn variety
They may have used hispaniensis gladius or other swords available in the appropriate period,
Heavy pila, or hasta...depending on the troop type, and era in the republic!
Loads of references, polybius, Caesar et al! :-)
