This black-and-white historical illustration shows a Roman legionary in full combat gear: a lorica segmentata cuirass, manica arm guard, greaves, and a Montefortino-style helmet. He carries a pilum (javelin), a gladius (short sword) at his hip, and a large curved scutum shield strapped to his left arm. The meticulous linework reflects 19th-century archaeological reconstructions based on surviving artifacts and reliefs.
