Where can I buy reliable Roman armor? Like the helmet and the Lorica Segmentata. I've been to Kult of Athena. Is Deepeeka or Windlass good brands for armour?

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

Deepeeka would be okay, but the Windlass lorica would probably be better quality. Just my opinion. Deepeeka HAS gotten better over the years though, so the choice is up to you.

What exactly do you mean by 'reliable' ? Are you planning on using it for costume or combat/reenactment ? Costume armor is relatively cheap. Combat-grade (16ga./14ga.) will probably have to be custom made and will bite you in the hip pocket. Hard.

Armorvenue is good. It's mostyly Depeeka. Gold standard for most reenactors. If you plan on joining a reenactor group, talk to them before you buy. Many have their own standards. Have fun.

Man, don't think I've been ignoring you, but combat ready Roman/Greek/ Corinthian armor is pretty elusive. I've looked...and just for your benefit. I'm personally not into it, being of Scot/Irish/Swede descent. If you want something 16/14/12ga. , you are pretty much gonna have to go custom-made. Bye, bye bank account.
