WHAT DOES LORICAE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lorica plumata

While several types of loricae existed in the Roman legion, the lorica plumata was reserved for the use of military leaders due to the high cost of production, and maintenance. The name the Romans used for this type of armor is not known, lorica plumata being a descriptive term applied by modern scholars, referring to its resemblance to a bird's plumage. Illustration of Lorica Plumata after ancient monument The lorica plumata was basically a mail shirt with small feather-like scales attached to the rings. Requiring skilled labor and much time to create, this would have been an expensive piece of military equipment. And while many contest its utility on the field, it might have been used by Roman leaders due to its impressive appearance and its possible impact on the morale of soldiers.
