There is not a single depiction of an officer or NCO wearing it. When Diocletian reformed the military, he got rid of it all together preferring to standardise mail armour instead, which is far superior in many respects.If segmentata was "peasant armour", why is it depicted worn by Praetorians on Trajan's Column?
