the one who isn't a faggot.

Who do you think is?

It's really annoying that the Lorica Segmentata is what everyone thinks all Roman soldiers wore. During the later period both Romans and their enemies wore mail if it was affordable.

And not just the later imperial periods, but mail was also very common, at least just as common as lorica segmentata if not more, during the peak use of that type. For much of the Republic, the Romans used metal squares (like hastati, principes) and bronze breastplates (triarii, officers, generals). The hastati, principes, and triarii eventually used mail armor as well, before the reforms of Gaius Marius. Julius Caesar's own army would have worn mail, and so did Augustus' forces, and later. Lorica segmentata, and the concept that the Romans were always uniformed in the same color tunics and armor, was not as common as people like to think. Varg, to the right of Soros in that picture, is arguably equipped like a Roman as well, not just a barbarian (which is what he was going for in the photo, his helmet would have been on the ground at the time).

And lamellar armour looks far cooler than lorica segmentata.
Pic related is ulta-late Roman I guess (Byzantine)

It's so strange that people today think everyone in the past had these different armours. There was some variation by region or culture, but just like today if you could afford it you bought whatever worked the best.

Varg.

Some more Romans.

Similar period Byzantine scale-mail

Lamellar is very nice, and I think it looks more cool than segmentata that almost every movie/program about Romans depicts. However, mail would have still been a lot more common, I think. Lamellar may have been mostly used by cavalry units and officers, during the late Roman period. I don't know as much about the post-476 AD period, but I'll be reading more about it.

An evil lizard kike vs a 40 something years old manchild? I'd say varg would win in meelee combat since he trains a lot. If it was a fight with spells then the kike would win with his black magic spells and his army of undead cucks and progressive sjws.

Pretty much this. Notice how neither of them have shields, too.

It kind of depends on the scenario, but probably the guy with the spear. Assuming he's skilled enough to hit the other guy in the face with it, the extra range would be the deciding factor, as it would allow him to win well before the knife knife would be effective. If they were in close quarters or started right beside each other, then the knife guy would have an advantage, but that's not very likely.

Armor is irrelevant if it's one-on-one and neither has a helmet.

The spear has range, true. I think he's quite skilled with combat enough in real life, compared to the billionaire nation-wrecker on the left. The picture seems to represent the decadent civilized soldier VS. the free yet wild barbarian warrior, given who these individuals are in real life (George Soros and Varg Vikernes, neither of whom I trust).
