Quote:Are you suggesting the Roman musculata was always leather?
Short answer…no.
I do agree with the vast majority of Travis Lee Clarks conclusions though.
I am personally of the opinion that when we see the ornate cuirasses of the Emperors, such as those referenced on Travis’s site, we are seeing a flexible garment.
That is not to say other materials did not exist.
Also, some of the arguments seem to stem from semantics, if we change the word “armorâ€
Vale!
