Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
#21
If painted, particularly with encaustic paint, wouldn't that also help to protect from water? If statues were painted to enhance realistic lifelike appearance, it might be logical that armor designed to look like the human body might also be painted this way as well.

But who ever said logic got you anywhere in Rome?
