Quote:There are Carolingian Frankish manuscript illustrations showing guardsmen wearing iron muscle-cuirasses. Whilst it is arguable that these are mere artistic licence, the possibility that the Carolingian emperors might have equipped their guards with iron muscle-cuirasses cannot be dismissed. Pictorial evidence is still evidence, it is merely not as conclusive as archaeological evidence.

True. In which case I'll repeat my call - show me just one artistic representation of a 'leather' Roman curass! :wink:
