Western Roman Empire Missile Infantry

Levis Armaturae

'Levis armaturae' literally translates as 'lightly armoured'. These flexible, sparsely-clad infantry formed a large part of late Roman armies, acting primarily as a skirmishing force. They were used to harass the enemy and hurled slingshot, javelins and plumbatae - deadly lead darts - before falling back through the maniples of heavy infantry as they advanced. They could then continue skirmishing on the enemy's flanks. In this way, levis armaturae never gave the enemy pause to regroup or breathe; successful skirmishers maintained a defensive screen as an army manoeuvred, able to keep pressure on the enemy and an eye on their own flanks.
