The Romans used many different types of armor and weapons during battles and wars. One type of armor they used during battle was chainmail. This type of armor was small metal rings linked together in patterns to form a mesh. Chainmail was used for many different types of armor including shirts, leggings, hoods, and collars. The shirts went about to their knees. The hoods and collars was either strapped around the neck or hung from the helmet. Roman soldiers also carried around shields for more protection. Some types of weapons that Roman soldiers used included small metal daggers, short swords, javelins, and spears.
