I was recently looking for some chain mail for my local Dagorhir chapter and I came across this:
http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?...el+-+Large
I remembered from HBO's series Rome, the legionaries wore the same, or similar, hamata, which for some reason looks like the linothorax made out of mail. Is there any historicity to this? Some reconstructions I've seen - mostly of Auxilia, because for some reason segmentata seems to be the most popular legionary armor - do. It have the shoulder flaps.
