Metal pieces for Leather Cuirass

[Dan Howard]

That being said, were a leather muscled cuirass to be found, perhaps somewhere in the dry sands of Egypt, I'd be the first to admit that my beliefs were wrong - and be happy to do so! .

Absolutely. I have already done that with Greek armour. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only person who now believes that the majority of Greek tube-and-yoke corselets were made from leather rather than linen. If Brian can produce any credible evidence that suggests the existence of a Roman leather musculata or segmentata then I'd definitely run with it.
