Boiled leather cuirasses? It seems there may be something in it, at least according to Raffaele D’Amato and Graham Sumner in their new book 'Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier 112BC-AD192', Barnsley: Frontline Books, 2009 (for a summary see my new blog at http://bit.ly/duHSL1 ). Do you agree with their findings?
