Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
#84
Just to add something to the mix on the subject of metal or non-metal. A Roman musculata from the 1st C. BC/AD has been found, and it's in the Christies Axel Guttmann catalogue.

"163. A Roman bronze muscled breastplate, 1st Century BC/AD, 18.5 in. (47 cm) high." page 159

It is NOT this:

but is far more crude in comparison, with bulbous pectorals.
