Thanks, that's actually very helpful. I actually wasn't doubting the muscled cuirass for the officers, so much as the helmet. (Ironic that I guess there's more archeological evidence for the latter, but your explanation of why makes perfect sense to me.) I've seen the reconstruction of the Thielenhofen on the "Triple-Crested Helmet" thread; it did look rather different to me, but maybe the picture isn't so clear on my screen or from my printer. The ornateness, it definitely has, though.<br>

Do we know what sort of armor non-officer Praetorians would wear when not in the city?<br>
