The Roman armor known as lorica squamata was most prominently used (in many forms and types) during the 1st and 2nd centuries. B.C., at the pinnacle of the Roman Empire. Although no armor of this type has been found in its entirety so far, many fragments and individual scales have been recovered, and numerous surviving representations have led scholars to believe that lorica squamata was not only worn by Imperial Roman army officers such as centurions, but also by legionaries and auxiliary troops, horsemen, archers, and even standard-bearers and musicians.
