Lorica Segmentata
Legionaries of the Roman Empire wore this complex, fitted armor, which consisted of a number of segmented metal plates overlapping one another at various points. Creation of lorica segmentata (literally, “segmented armor”) was considered an art, and only the legionaries were allowed to wear it.
It’s worth noting that the vampires of the Lancea Sanctum still make use of this armor, as ceremonial garb and in actual combat. Their prophet, the nigh-mythical Longinus, purportedly wore this type of armor as he thrust the spear into the Messiah’s side. Many Sanctified vampires even smear blood upon their armor to imitate how their founder’s own lorica must’ve looked.
