The Roman Legion protects the torso and abdomen with overlapping, vertical lamellae.

The Roman Tunic is a little like the medieval variant but is far more decadent and smug. I think that was the Roman Empire in a nutshell. Nothing beats it for casually engaging in the high politics of the Senate or crushing slave rebellions in comfort.
You are a citizen of the Roman Empire, one of the elite in the world’s most advanced society. Your standard of living far exceeds what the savages to the north can expect. With a democracy and a military to be reckoned with, the Romans are the most powerful force in the world.
You pull your Roman Tunic back over your head after leaving the bathhouse and its hot, healing waters. It’s good to be civilized.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Roman Tunic is a light Roman-style shirt often worn as an undergarment with a large boat-shaped neckline. Reaching from the shoulders to the knees and made from comfortable, dyed cotton, this tunic is an extremely versatile item that can be a costume all by itself--or work as a base layer in a more complicated design. Embellished along the elbow-length sleeves with embroidered trim and detailed with a unique toothed hem, this tunic is an essential and long-lasting piece that will fit any character’s need.
HISTORY
- Historically worn by a great variety of people and cultures--with many different types of cuts!
- The name derives from the Latin tunica, the basic garment worn by both men and women in Ancient Rome
- Generally considered a male garment and was still worn in Norway until the 17th century

You are a citizen of the Roman Empire, and a professional heavy infantryman of the Roman Army. You enlisted in your legion for twenty-five years of service, and you are both relieved and anxious to know you have only a few years left.
As you double-check that your military-issued Roman Belt and other armour is secure, you feel prepared alongside your fellow soldiers to go into battle. You just hope that your training will continue to serve you well. At the very least, you have confidence in the sharpness of your weapon.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Roman Belt is a belt inspired by the military belt worn by ranking Roman soldiers. The Roman Belt’s five hanging leather plates and metal fittings protect the groin, but ultimately this is more for a show of rank than for armour.
Made from heavy canvas and rimmed with soft leather, this belt is constructed to prevent tearing or deforming in order to provide a durable solution to your Roman-inspired costume. With a sturdy cotton cord tied at the back, adjust this belt to a large range of sizes to fit your unique body.
HISTORY
- Referred to as a cingulum militare, or military belt, and was worn as a badge of rank by Roman soldiers
- Belts have been documented for male clothing since the Bronze Age between 3200–600 B.C.
- More commonly a male fashion item, with the exception of the Middle Ages

And so it is with your own armour!
Humidity, expansion and contraction in the heat, UV radiation, rain, and the withering blows of your enemies all conspire to expose your armour to rust, but worse yet, your very own precious bodily fluids conspire to corrode it from the inside with their impurities and corruption! (which is why we only ever drink pure grain alcohol or rainwater)
You could coat your armour (and other metal objects) in a regular run of the mill lubricant, but many of them are actively hydrophobic. Great for metal but terrible for leather, cotton and other organic materials!
Lanox MX4 is a lanolin rich lubricant, and lanolin is the oil that is naturally produced by sheep to prevent them from shrinking in the rain and generally remain weather proof! It is superior to many artificial compounds and does not damage leathers or organic fibres.

As you double-check that your military-issued Roman Shoulder Armour is secure, you feel prepared alongside your fellow soldiers to go into battle. You just hope that your training will continue to serve you well. At the very least, you have confidence in the durability of your armour.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Roman Shoulder Armour are Ancient Roman inspired shoulder guards designed to deflect blows away from the shoulder and head. Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather and heavy cotton canvas, this armour is also reinforced with extra leather and stitching around the edges to preserve its shape with long use. Along the outer rim, the Roman Shoulder Armour is decorated with slim leather and heavy canvas straps overhanging the upper arms to offer protection and excellent mobility.
Secure the Roman Shoulder Armour to your existing cuirass or chainmail using strong leather cords at the shoulder. The style is fitting for a Roman infantryman or legionnaire, and is fully compatible with other Epic Armoury leather and metal armours, giving you the freedom to customize your costume.
HISTORY
- Also called a manicula in Latin
- Typically worn with a spear, large shield, helmet, and chainmail
You admire the Viking Armour that belonged to your father. The great warrior sailed his last voyage, but your brethren still managed to bring back his armour specially for you. For that, at least, you are grateful.
Looking down upon the sturdy, freshly polished steel, you wonder what this armour has seen. Carried on countless travels, this armour may have been covered in blood raiding the English coast, tarnished under the sun of Spain, and used in defense of Miklagard.
One day you will add to its story.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Viking Armour is a breastplate and backplate inspired by lamellar worn by the Vikings, protecting the front and back of the torso. Made from layers of mild steel plates connected with durable leather cording, this armour is flexible and impressive in detail. Strong leather lines the armour around the edges to add comfort, while adjustable leather straps along the sides and on the shoulders attach the front to a solid leather backplate.
The Viking Armour is fully usable with other Epic Armoury metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.
HISTORY
- Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
- Inspired by lamellar armour worn by the Vikings, which would have included small iron plates
- Historically, most Vikings wore ordinary clothing and used a shield as protection
To serve your lord, you are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice. Upon the battlefield you await the coming violence, looking out upon the thousands at your side and the thousands more who stand opposed. You may very well die this day, but you have every intention of taking out a hundred soldiers before you do.
Your lord strides along the battlelines, shouting encouragement. Your Churburg Armour glints in the sunlight as he finally gives the call to charge--and with that decisive shout the battle begins.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Churburg Armour is a simple low-fantasy piece of armour protecting the front and back of the torso and abdomen. The plate rests at the waist and is sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel.
The Churburg Armour is embellished with a wide ‘V’ on the front to deflect attacks away from the head. It is fully usable with Epic Armoury’s other metal work products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.
HISTORY
- Loosely based on the Churburg #13 breastplate, a historically famous armour set from the 14th century
- Historical inspiration was considered a “transitional” breastplate, meant to be worn with a lot of chainmail
- Our version is much bigger than the original, protecting the entire chest

You strike your sword against your rounded shield, shouting alongside your legionaries outside the gates of Syracuse. Inside, their people are filled with terror, deafened by your army’s trumpets and noise. Arrows rain down and you and your fellow soldiers form a barrier with your shields.
There is nothing that can stop you. The design of your shield allows you to stand in close formation, advancing on their defenders and dispatching them quickly. Even if an arrow should find its way through the cracks, your Roman Legion armour will keep you entirely protected.
