Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
Quote:I think we need to factor in other things like if a leather cuirass is more expensive or time consuming to make than a bronze/other metal one. If it is easier, quicker and more protective to use a metal cuirass than why ever even dream of using leather? If metal ones are more expensive than the leather than maybe I can see why one would be commisioned to make.
Isn't that akin to a wealthy and successful modern executive choosing to drive a Fiat Punto rather than a Jaguar X-type?
