The Lorica Hamata is constructed from rings which are 18 gauge in thickness and with an internal diameter of 6 mm. Half the rings are dome-riveted for strength and these alternate with solid flat rings. This pattern of mail creation is a clever historical pattern which removes the need to painstakingly rivet every single ring individually. The ornate PURE SOLID BRASS adornments are the most attractive feature of this historical mail armor that also holds the two shoulder ring plates in place.

The Roman Lorica Hamata is directly inspired by Celtic design as the Celts are the people that have been credited for the invention of chainmail. The Lorica Hamata that we decided to reconstruct here still keeps a lot of its Celtic original traits making it perfectly suitable equipment for Roman or Celtic cavalrymen or even legionary of Caesar during the Gallic wars or any similar legionary fighting of Hannibal’s armies during the Punic Wars.
Handmade from 18-gauge mild steel rings (6 mm diameter each) are meticulously riveted together using dome rivets. The alternating flat rings make it more durable. A classic European pattern of 4-in-1 chainmail rings is followed while constructing this chainmail shirt.
