University of Temple Professor Travis Lee Clark (arguably the world’s leading authority on Roman muscle cuirass armor) has found no evidence, literary or otherwise, that Roman officers used metal cuirasses in battle. Please let us know your source for this.

There isn’t any archeological evidence for any Roman cuirass (metal, leather, linen, wood or whatever), just as there isn’t any archeological evidence for Roman Shields to have the lightening and thunderbolt design… there is only sculpture. Is the lightening and thunderbolt design also “still a fantasyâ€
