What always confused me in some later hellenistic or roman sculptures of warriors,emperors etc wearing the muscled cuirass is that it seems to follow the lines of the body,I mean bending slightly to the left and things like that that make it seem more like a torso,like Tarbicus said,than a metal thing.Actually,it's so tight to the body that only the pteruges suggest it's a thorax. Even if it was leather(and I don't believe so),it wouldn't be so "elastic"
