Product description
The lorica hamata is a replica of an original from the 1st century AD. Hauberks of this type were worn by legionaries between the 2nd century BC and the 3rd century AD.
The hauberk is constructed from 1 mm thick steel rings with an inner diameter of 6 mm, just as with the original loricae hamatae. It used to take nearly two months to produce a lorica hamata on account of the small rings. This hauberk was 30% lighter than later hauberks. Round punched rings are alternated with flat riveted rings. The lorica hamata is delivered inclusive of a shoulder piece with a leather edge.
It is available in sizes M, L and XL. The chest circumference is measured including a gambeson/padding.
