Armor
Are armor today is kind of like the Roman's armor back then, but are armor is more made for bullets, the Roman's armor was more for arrows, javelins, daggers, and swords. The Roman's armor was made by overlapping iron for protection, though you see muscles in armor once in awhile this armor was just for everyday soldier.
The Roman's Weapons
Each Roman Soldier carried a short sword called a Gladius. This was the Soldier's main weapon. The Roman Soldier's carried along with the sword a Pilum, or also known as Javelin. But for defence a strong built scutum(shield). It was made by comprised pieces of bentwood, steam over a form to bend to deflect hits.
