Very interesting photographs taken by Dan Diffendale to browse through, and nicely gategorised.

His Italica webpages are also legendary:

There's some interesting stuff there and I'm interested in just how that musculata was put on for did the guy have help in putting it on or did he manage on his own, for it looks like there are pins for the shoulder doublings but it also looks to have a longer pin that must have held the side possibly the left one which he might have been able to fit himself I wonder.

Brian, if you mean the one in the Tomb of the Warrior in Lanuvium, I really couldn't say, sorry. I suppose it's feasible that the wearer could put it on all by himself, given the hinges on the shoulders. You should make one and find out :wink:
