Equipment in the Roman Empire
Most equipment in the Roman Empire is equivalent to standard equipment found in the D&D sourcebooks, with the following alterations:
Weapons
- The short sword is called a gladius (used by Roman Infantry)
- The longsword is called a spatha (used by Roman Cavalry)
- The sickle is called a falx (used by Roman civilians)
- Hand crossbows do not exist
Armor
- Light armor is as in the Player’s Handbook.
- Medium armor is as in the Player’s Handbook except: Half Plate does not exist.
- Heavy armor is as in the Player’s Handbook except: Plate Mail does not exist. Instead, Lorica segmentata ("Segmented Armor") has the same stats as Plate Mail.
- The shield from the Player’s Handbook is called a "Large Shield" (used by Roman Infantry)
- A small shield exists: costs 5 gp, +1 to AC, weighs 3 lbs (used by mercs/civilians/cavalry)
