First of all I think I had mentioned this before but I cant find the thread for the life of me. So incase I am wrong and it was not a thread I am starting a new one. I just noticed something I had not before on one of the images I collected. .....>

That to me looks like a breast. Unless they had some very odd ides of male anatomry. And it seems to have all of the same parts of a musculata. The shoulder straps, belt around the middle tied the same way. The pteruge around the shoulder and at the bottom. Looks like it also has the cape fastend on the one shoulder and hanging down the back. Any way I just noticed it when doing research on the pteruges I am planning.

Sorry about that I thought we had talked about it before but just could not find the thread. Thats what I get for posting when I am really sleepy. And of course that same image was referenced in it I had just forgotten.

Possibly just a statue of a roman goddess.

The problem is you are thinking in modern terms of women. Very skinny thin women. That was not the ideal in the past. [url:2rb90a79]http://static.flickr.com/34/122957861_91e2847fb2.jpg[/url]

I know the ancient ideal, sulla - and your pic shows a "female" statue with "big arms". But on this statue with musculata i see an big arm with big triceps (note the broken area and the profile of the arm).

Since I am a full time illustrator and artist getting proportions correct all day every day is what I do
And as for the hair look at the example link I posted. No hairs on the back of shoulder.

Quote:A armoured girl with high hairdressing??? :lol: Sorry, but i hold my position.
Why not? It's a million times more likely than a Roman man deliberately having a musculata made that shows off his fine pair of breasts.
Minerva's my guess, in contemporary officer's panoply.

Quick query: Do we have a time period and/or location for the Musculata shown above? That could be an important deciding factor.
