Musculata Images

[Sulla]

It seems to me that it might just be they used shorter musculata for people wanting more mobility and longer for people that did not care as much. We have examples of both from romand times and earlier in sculpture and images and surviving examples (earler times only). For example the ones below.

Also since we are talking about it here is some leather armor from different times even though I am not convinced it was in wide spread use by the Romans.
