Mail Shoulder Guards
Weapon
 
    The section of mail armor wrapped around this soldiers shoulders is a good example of mail shoulder guards at the time of the Roman Republic.  Mail shoulder guards were generally used in conjunction with the lorica hamata, in fact it is rare to find a Roman historical piece that includes the lorica hamata, and not the shoulder guards.
   Mail shoulder guards are excellent protection for both shoulders, and even partially protect the neck.  While the level of protection for the shoulders is less, the lower weight and the added neck protection is often enough for most warriors to switch to using mail shoulder guards over the heavier plate.

Mail Shoulder Guards are available at:
