The link is a flyaround of a legionary that me and a friend made ( and he modelled the segmentata, helmet, groin guard and shield =] ) I think DAZ did pretty good with their model, especially fine work on the helmet and balteus. But the cuirass is a bit off (shoulders overly large) and the tunic seems to be... sleeveless :S "Generally it wasn't until the later Roman period that the armor was mostly metal." Actually, the last few centuries of Rome were in decline militarily. They constantly kept hiring Germans, who demanded higher pay, so by the fall of Rome the only metal commonly worn by foot-soldiers was the helmet (cavalry, however, became skinned in iron). "Before that it was leather, leather with metal, or leather with mail." it actually progressed from a Greek-Macedonian armor of really hard leather, and occasionally bronze or iron scales built in, then in the early Republic there was virtually no armor on the younger troops other than the helm and a single greave (although they did get large, curved oval shields), and the more experienced troops generally had the same equipment in addition to mail. Then about a century before the transition from BCE to CE, Marius reformed the army to become professional and permanent (as all previous armies were raised only during wars) and all soldiers had mail, a curved oval shield, and a brass helmet, along with their own mess gear and fortification tools. This lasted to some time in the 1st century CE, then more legions came to use an iron helmet and the segmented cuirass (and also the infamous rectangular shield). Then only a century later, the empire gradually declined as aforementioned.
