Roman "Manica" Arm

leather manicaleather manica

leather manica

Anyone versed in Roman armour and history knows, the well-known "Lorica Segmentata" body cuirass of the Romans styling is often also replicated by the "Manica" or segmented arm. The Manica (translated, meaning "sleeve") was not normally issued to or used by Roman Legionnaires until around the 2nd or 3rd Century. The sword or spear arm, incapable of holding a shield needed protection and the "Manica" served this purpose. This arm defense was also worn individually for gladiator style combat. Our version is as close as can be to what we know, in a leather format. 7/8 oz plates of leather overlap in segments upwards from the wrist towards the shoulder. We have two versions, the one pictured here and also without the depicted hand covering. Wear alone or with our "Steel over Leather" Lorica, or our Leather "Lorica Segmentata"

Sold individually, in browns or black.

A perfect match to our "Celtic Knotwork" Pauldrons. Please specify at time of ordering for which arm (left or right) you are requiring.
