Legionnaires and Centurions

Hi people

I was kind of challenged to make some roman soldiers and …well…I’m not the kind to run away from a dare…so here they are: two legionnaires and two Centurions to keep the Pax on the Sims Empire



So, here's a bit about the costumes:
Roman legionnaire
The Lorica, armour made of strips of metal tied together with leather straps was very commonly used. It was so heavy that soldiers had to help each other to put it on. They also wore tunics made of chain mail, easier to wear specially in hotter climates.
The baldric is the primary belt design used by roman soldiers to wear short swords.
The strips belt was called a Cinculum Militaire. Primarily ornamental was comprised of studded leather belt with varying number of hanging strips.
(about 100 AD)
The red tunic is the standard issue for the roman legionnaire. However, often when in campaign, soldiers used non-tinted fabrics.
The sandals were used for the long march, the hobnails kept the sole from wearing out too quickly

Centurions and other officer wore crests on their helmets so the soldiers could spot them easily in battle and also wore metal greaves to protect the legs
The leather cuirass is typical of those found in Greek and roman armament and was design to protect against spear thrusts and sword cuts. The belt or apron, made of leather strips was designed to protect the lower half of the body. It had heavy weights on the bottom of each strip to keep them in place
