Was the leather muscled curiass of the later times sexier?

[Dan Howard]

Put it this way. If I'm to say that a muscled leather cuirass formed the undergarment of mail that was thrown over on top. I don't have to prove it. It is simply an opinion! An idea!

If you aren't prepared to back up your hypothesis with evidence or even a sensible argument then maybe RAT is not the place for you.

Remember the 3 P's of scientific opinion. Proposition, and that's what I've made. A proposal! One can make just about any kind proposal!

Which has no place here unless it is followed up by a sound argument backed up with primary evidence or tests that can withstand a reasonable amount of scientific scrutiny.

I'll enjoy my opinion! I'm imagining regiments of later legionaries on parade, minus the chain mail. In very fashionable leather muscled cuirasses. I like my Romans to dress to dress well! :roll:

Wearing a fashionable costume is far far different to wearing functional armour. Nobody has yet to produce anything to suggest that the Romans ever wore solid leather armour.
