However, I still like the Mars of Todi best

Curiously, although of oriental construction, his thorax is very faithfull to Greek fashion. The Etruscans could also strongly deviate from what was acceptable in Greece:

Note the peculiar pointed shoulderflaps and the tailored waist accentuated with a belt, common with the Etruscans but I have never seen a contemporary Greek thorax with a waist.
