Doc, found it. Beautiful piece of work you have there. It really captures the essence of the bronze musculata in D'Amato, as well as the Etruscan/Aponine? cuirass in the British museum.
And Brutus, both of the musculata that I've seen of yours look awesome. I, along with some other RAT members, may not be convinced that the Romans used leather in this function, but your opinion on the subject is appreciated (at least by me) nonetheless. I don't have ANY musculata recreated to speak of (although I would certainly like to).
And hey, for what it's worth, the existence of leather armor cannot necessarily be disproven, only proven less and less likely.
