Jaroslav thanks for the last link
can a mod please add an ranking to thi9s (you know we can only give neutral)
coming back to your discussion the point was about Marius's reform and not necessary about armor I would suggest to keep that topic
on Armor it might be a luxury but I would like to have one in a fight if I can buy /steal / cheat/ bribe one. I think the situation is much more complex I also think that probably even before Marius through Augustus the army suffered a lot of modification and unitization of equipment but even in Augustus times a bunch of soldiers would have pretty different equipment between them being shields, helmets swords or armor .
