Virilis, that one certainly resembles the 6th century examples a lot more.
The one Romulus posted resembles the 4th century examples on the Arch of Constantine, but of course isn't commercially available.
Do we actually know whether or not lamellar was even used by the Romans as early as the 4th century? I've never seen it represented that early, or seen any archaeological remains, but this period is not my main area of interest.
BTW, Romulus, do you have a date for that Turkish cuirass?
