I have a question regarding the Lorica segmentata. One of my Osprey books about the roman army shows a legionair in britain in 43 AD. He wears a Lorica Segmentata. The book states that the Segmentata wasn't common or standard among the legion by then. It says that probably only 'specialists' wore that kind of armor at that time. Is that assumption correct? If so, who were considered 'specialists'?
