Unlike later armies, the Roman legions, were largely ignorant of hand protection. The heavy gauntlets that are seen on later knights and the like, are absent from the armies of Rome, as such the only protection offered for a warriors hands are gloves.  Gloves are very weak proection for the hands, however since they are the only protection for them, they are better then nothing.  Usually better at keepings ones hands warm, they will at least absorb some hits.   If the lack of good hand protection truly irks you however, your best bet is to attempt to order a pair of gauntlets from a passing merchant.

Gloves are available at:
