Salve,
I do respect you and your opinion however I am not pretending that leather is authentic, I am very much of the opinion that leather, linen, bronze and brass were all authentic. There is, at the absolute very least, compelling evidence that the Musculatas were made from different materials other then and including metal. Now, please if you disagree that’s beyond okay but, do please at least consider my 7 points below.
1. There is evidence that the Greeks wore a Lorica made of stiffened linen (Alexander Style) as well as a bronze Musculata cuirass; so why not the Romans?
2. An observation from feigelsonjulius [quote]“the words corselet is French and I believe
means "small or short leather". "Cors" of corselet seems to be
derived from "cours" which means leather. That's where we
get "cuirass" which is a leather "corselet.â€
