I think everybody's right about that one. Indeed it is mentioned only that those who could afford it wore mail. No mention is made of giving a particular type of armour to a particular type of warrior.<br>
However, the triarius was probably wearing more mail that the hastatus or the princeps simply because being the oldest generation in the legion the triarii were statistically the wealthiest. <p></p><i></i>
