Late Roman legionary... sort of...

Around the middle of the fourth century, legionaries were issued a new style of armor combining the lorica segmentata with the muscled cuirass. Expansion of this style of armor with additional pieces eventually gave rise to the full plate c. AD 500, illustrated in such documentaries as Excalibur (1981). This illustration shows a typical legionary of c. 400.
