We Tested Ancient Roman Weapons And Armour

It's our replica of the original that you found here oh, exactly the same armor, okay, let's see if it fits, it's exactly the same size, so okay, here we go, yes, it looks very good, look at that, the buckles. from the surf and also some from the leather That's how, yeah, that's how they linked all these different plates together, yeah, yeah. I have to ask for a Roman legionary about 2,000 years ago, would they have been expected to do all this themselves? They would have had someone to put the equipment on for them. I think they would have done it with their companions, who shared a 10.

It's very difficult to put one of those on yourself, yes, and each leg lived in almost Ador. Tre, isn't it? Those close comrades are almost your closest brothers in arms, they were your best companions in battle. Exactly, Fe feels good and besides, I can still move around quite a bit with this modern technology for 9 years. This was the most modern thing you could get at the time, before legionnaires only wore chain mail armor and this was invented shortly before the Battle of Tiok Forest and it was the newest thing you could get, so, what? what comes first? your belt comes again, okay, yes, to show that you are legendary, this is a symbol of legendaries and only legendaries were allowed to wear it, ah, so this was almost a marker that you were military, Mar, exactly now , I'm very excited about this. of course, your sword, so this is my main weapon, it's one of your main

weapons

, the boom comes next, so you have a belt for your sword, okay, and a belt for your dagger, and you're using them a little, a little bit crosswise, yes, literature called cowboy style cowboy style okay, what's next comes here, look at this, yes, your head, me, the iconic early imperial helmet, is it a CO like that?

Yes, it's not too big. I'm not moving it, it's actually not hurting my vision at all, so I can see, I can hear when I'm in gear. I have this lip on the front, I guess, to protect against SS slashes, I guess, and then this huge lip on the back, again, feels like more protection against slashing

weapons

. Like this is better than what Sho protects a little better against, for example, P, it doesn't breathe as much as chainmail armor and it's not as mobile as chainmail armor and the next thing is that for you it is fits perfectly, but usually this has to fit the body of the wearer, while a chain mail shirt hangs more or less and fits all sizes and there are more laries body shapes, almost one size fits, so this type of sensation, although the base there is more to add for me. a Roman legionnaire is not there at least in March, okay, if you want to be in March, this is a complete FKA car, okay, this is the thing that the legendary Romans carried all their belongings with, here is your cape, cape, okay, here are your personal things there yes, this is your food for 3 days and you have to carry it on your right shoulder, right shoulder and that was standard, it was the right shoulder, not the left shoulder, you could carry it anywhere shoulder, but today you have to carry the shield. on the other end okay, so what are these?

These are your pillars, your Roman spare parts, you have to carry them in the same hand. Okay, three poses in one hand, one hand and maybe even four, oh actually, because saas differ if you carry two or three peas. Oh wow, really, what more do I need? Of course, your shield is fine and I always have my shield ready here or what was usual on a march, uh, through normal territory and you don't expect danger, you would wear it covered with a hide. Covering your back is fine, but this would take you longer to take out, so now you're a legendary Roman in March in an area where danger is expected, so if a Germanic warrior jumps out of the woods, you just have to throw him away. you go to the car and then you come back ready first.

I'm just starting out, my right one in particular is starting to hurt a little. That's a lot of equipment for a soldier to carry, particularly all these three different Pos and, as you say, maybe four now the name Marius. mules are thrown a lot and Marius, a very important statesman, general of the beginning of the 1st century and the end of the 2nd century BC. C., why are legionnaires nicknamed Marius mules? Marius saw a problem in the large baggage train of army officers, so at every stage. The legionary put his things on a cart or a mule and did not carry them himself, so Marius changed it so that each legionary carried all his equipment, his weapons and his food for 3 days in order to operate for three days. days.

Regardless of his baggage train, if Varus has about 15,000 legionaries, Marius has 15,000 mules in his army. Yes, it's going to make quite a noise, isn't it? This will be a very long, very loud, very visible army. marching through the Germanic forests you can't really walk calmly with this team eh, but the Romans want to be heard, they want to be seen because they are here and they are the rulers well, I am here, I am in Germania, I want to be seen, I can walk a little, of course you can, okay, I mean this path, it feels like a pretty nice path, but thinking back to 2000 years ago, I'm banging my head on the fker and my peeler right now, I can't imagine it.

One is to try to overcome these obstacles, whether they are small trees or branches of bushes, etc., it is also a really difficult task for a Roman legionary. If someone falls, does the entire column have to stop? Yes, probably, especially on this very narrow path, one legionary just getting stuck somewhere or several falling would stop the entire column and it would probably take a long time to get it going again if there was news of an attack, if it saw warriors running towards us, how? easy it would be for me to say get rid of the damn take out my sword be ready for battle it would take you a few seconds that means if you watch The Barbarians too late maybe it will be too late for you yes, but otherwise you just have to do it Throw away your fer and Take your pawn, for example, or your class.

The only problem is that when you throw your strength into the swamp you don't have anything to eat for 3 days, so probably after the first attacks of the Germanic warriors the legendaries didn't do it. I don't have any food anymore wow, okay, let's walk a little more oh, it's heavy STS, my right shoulder is killing me. Thank you for watching this video in history.
