Legion near Judea at time of Jesus

[LonginusXXI]

The picture I drew was of a veteran of the Italian Cohort, and this cohort was recorded to have fought in the Germanic Wars in 9 A.D. Also armor was supplied by contractors so it could have been that this contractor was a Roman legionary who retired and a recruit could have bought his armor. Based on this, there could have been one or two guys in lorica segmentata, (this was a citizen cohort!) However, the main armor that was used by auxiliaries was scale and mail armor, so the possibilities of lorica segmentata used by these soldiers was probably very slim.
