lorica plumata
While several types of ''loricae'' (armor) existed in the Roman legion, the ''lorica plumata'' was reserved for the use of military leaders (Tribunes and above, but typically Generals) due to the high cost of production, and maintenance. The name the Romans used for this type of armor is not known, ''lorica plumata'' being a descriptive term applied by modern scholars, referring to its resemblance to a bird's plumage.
The ''lorica plumata'' was basically a mail shirt (hamata) with small feather-like scales (plumes) attached to the rings. Requiring skilled labor and much time to create, this would have been an expensive piece of military equipment. And while many contest its utility on the field,〔(Roman Army Talk Forum: Protection - Which Lorica was best? )〕 it might have been used by Roman leaders due to its impressive appearance and its possible impact on the morale of soldiers.
