Just How Heavy Was Roman Armour?

Historian Tristan Hughes investigates what it was really like to fight as a legionary soldier in the Ancient Roman army. He examines replica weapons, including Germanic and Roman swords, highlighting their design and effectiveness. The Germanic sword, with its asymmetrical design with one cutting edge, is contrasted with the Roman sword, optimized for penetrating armour. The discussion also covers the functionality of javelins ( or pilum) as both throwing weapons and for thrusting, shedding light on the differences between Roman and Germanic warfare tactics. 00:00 - 01:00 Intro 01:01 - 08:21 Swords 08:22 - 15:15 Spears 15:16 - 23:45 Armour Discover the past on History Hit with ad-free exclusive podcasts and documentaries released weekly presented by world renowned historians Dan Snow, Suzannah Lipscomb, Lucy Worsely, Mary Beard and more.
