This type of chainmail shirt was used for many centuries by legionaries, auxiliary units, and officers. Thanks to the combination of flexibility and durability, the hamata offered excellent protection on the battlefield. The armor consisted of thousands of hand-made rings, carefully riveted and interwoven, allowing it to withstand both cutting and thrusting weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLorica Hamata vs Lorica Segmentata\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to the later developed segmentata armor, the lorica hamata remained popular among soldiers who valued mobility and comfort. Due to the way the rings moved, the weight was evenly distributed over the upper body, making long marches and intensive battles more bearable. Cavalrymen and centurions also often chose the hamata because it required less maintenance and caused little hindrance during quick maneuvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLorica hamata replica's\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eArchaeological finds show that there were variants with different ring diameters, additional reinforcements on the shoulders, or longer hip edges for advanced protection.
