Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor

[Dan Howard]

Edouard: The leather I referred to is the hardened form generally accepted as having been used to mould the ornate Roman heroic cuirasses.

Generally accepted by Victorians and Hollywood maybe. Nobody has produced anything to support this. Romans and Greeks were perfectly capable of making this armour from metal.

The only evidence that can even vaguely be considered Roman leather armour is scale/lamellar, not segmented and not solid cuirasses - and even this is only valid if you consider armour found in Egypt and Syria to be Roman.
