Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but

[Celtic505]

I like the shoulder doublings Anthony! I was expecting white for some reason but I think the red definately tops it off.

Someone once said armors purpose is more of making the wearer think he is protected than actually protecting him. As for the statues with the bending armor, I think those are clearly subarmalis', as for the armor being pulled on by the knots around the waist and other features that seem to indicate it bends, others have pointed out that leather would not do that and I can't say for sure about stiffened linen but I somewhat doubt it. So can't we conclude the statues represent a material that is not metal, leather or stiff linen? or it is artistic liscence. I'm not saying they never used leather or always used bronze, because you can never really know, but I think what is being portrayed in the statues is clearly not leather or an artistic liscence depicting metal in a distorted way. But what else would be used aside from bronze, leather or stiffened linen? ahhhhhh...I should go outside and walk in a couple circles instead of doing it online.
