Quote:At the risk of going off topic, I notice many re-enactors struggle with the weight of their armor and shields. Is that because us moderns make our replicas too heavy, because the real stuff was pretty heavy, or because we're wimps? :lol: I lifted a replica lorcia segmenta once: it must have weighed 40 pounds (~ 18 kg.)
Training in armor is the same as a weighted vest and ankle weights. Marching is a great way to get used to the weight and before vehicles the common soldier walked.
