Product description
The manica is a piece of armour for the arm, used by gladiators and legionaries. People had little money to spend on such equipment, so materials such as linen, leather, chain pieces and residual steel plates were commonly employed. In the Roman army, this could even be forged by soldiers themselves in cases of emergency. Crafted from brass, this manica consists of overlapping steel plates. The manica protects the arm from the shoulder to the hand. It features an additional brass protection plate for the hand and a leather interior for added wearing comfort. The manica has four leather straps and a ring for fastening it to the arm and armour. The straps are adjustable in size. A fine replica for Roman re-enactment & gladiators.
