The Officer’s Muscle Cuirass, also known as the Roman Musculata. It is an anatomical piece of armour designed for Roman Reenactors. A cuirass has been a part of the armour for a long time, it was used by Greek Hoplites and then was used by Roman army officers as well. There are a lot of examples of decorated cuirasses from the Roman Empire; the main decorative element being the central figurine. In our replica, we have used a Medusa figurine which was one of the three gorgons from the Greek Mythology. This is another piece of evidence that shows that the basic design of cuirasses was trickled down from the Greek era to the Roman era. It was the Greeks that brought forward the idea of anatomical armour for hoplites, producing muscular armour for their hoplites.
