Do we have evidence for this kind of cuirras used by gladiators at all? I only know of the breastplate of the provocator, but that's definitely not a muscle cuirras. Also the cruppelarius wears a kind of segmental armour, but I think the scissor would just wear a hamata, no muscle cuirras over it. If they would use that at all, it would be directly, without something underneath, I would say.
