Roman soldiers have been recorded using their cloaks as a defense when caught out without armor and shields.
Light Armed cohorts of the Legions may have not used body armor on occasion or even habitually. Also they possibly used curved oval shields and javelins as seen in some grave markers. Trajens column depicts some oval shields with Legionary insignia which may be light armed cohorts shields.
