Like the Legionary, they also wear subarmalis as padding, but theirs is made of leather.
The very heavy looking armour is chainmail, is called lorica harmata.
And finally, their weapon! A bow, along with a bracer (manica cutanea), or arm-guard, and a quiver on their back for holding their arrows!

Though not worn today, a typical helmet for this type of soldier would be a galea.
(And please forgive us the pixelated cover image. We have no idea why that keeps happens on export, but uhh, if anyone has any ideas, we'll lend you our ears.)

The nice shiny armour is called lorica sqaumata. It is made of bronze interlocked shells.
Then there's the balteus (belt) with the cingulum (the straps hanging off the front; it was a badge of military status).
And finally the weapon! This is a type of long sword called a spatha.
