** **The Roman soldier dressed in a helmet, mail breastplate, leg and arm guards, belt, and boots. ** ** The Roman helmet was made of iron, bronze, or brass. The helmet was bowl-shaped with a neck guard. The inside was lined with leather to protect the soldier’s head. The helmet also had cheek guards to protect the face. Many helmets had fittings for crests. ** **Leg and arm guards were used. These mainly consisted of iron plates sewn to leather. ** ** The metal leg protectors were called greaves. It was red and white. It was only made from linen or wool. ** **The Soldier’s have a sword to protect them through war. ** ** The impact on our society is that the outfit is more protective and that the weapons are more dangerous and we are not protected by just the swords we are protecting by better weapons. We also have camouflage. **
