segmentata

[marcii ulpi messala]

In the middle ages the arch Wales or long arch it was very top in power to the arch used in the time of Roma, because of it neither in the middle ages nor armors of plates not the jacket of the mails were effective against the arrows.The medieval armor of plates integral was exclusively designed for lords of the war against the swords and heavy weapon, the infantry paid for the lords of the war had armors of more limited plates combined with the jacket of the mails. The lorica segmentata for his aerodynamic cylindrical form is more effective at the moment of turning the missiles aside, the lorica hamata adopts the form of the human body, is a more ideal reveille for missiles, I think.
