Centurion Muscle Curaiss

[FlaviusCrispus]

I believe the answer is yes. There is at least one relief of which I am aware that depicts a soldier identified as a centurion (his sword is on the left) wearing a muscle cuirass. You also have the issue of Trajan's Column, where "traditional" centurions (i.e. wearing mail or scale armor and transverse crest) are nowhere in evidence. There are, however, numerous "officers" in what looks like short muscle cuirasses and cloaks who are probably supposed to be centurions.
