Just weighing up my armour and kit ahead of my next video. My body armour the #LoricaSegmentata, weighs 8kg and my helmet, the #galea, weighs 3.4kg. Belts sandals and #Gladius weigh 5.9kg. Along with other items such as the tunic and #subarmalis (padded jacket worn under the armour) we are looking at approximately 20kgs of equipment worn on the man. #TheLegionary #Romansoldier
