CTSM-06A - Samnite Warrior D-Day enemy uniformsSamnite tunics were brightly coloured and decorated, and there is little evidence of uniformity. Their weapons included the javelin and short spear. There was a mixture of oval and round shields, and many infantry wore a distinctive cuirasse of Italian design. Small breast and backplates of leather backed bronze linked by hinged straps of similar construction passing over the shoulders and under the arms. The commonest type was the triple disc style.
