Quote:I was wondering if someone could shed some light on a reasonable timeline for the different types of Roman armour... as in when it was introduced and when it faded from view. (Variants would be appreciated as well i.e. Segmentata: Newstead, Corbridge A/B, kalkreise etc...

You are referring to the lorica segmentata/plate armour?
because scale armour and mail existed long before Rome and never faded from view afterwards.
