Description
The roman officers used to wear a muscle armor during the whole roman Empire. This long-standing tradition and privilege also allowed them to wear a sometimes very decorated body armor.
The most used decoration was a plain Medusa head on the thorax, as in our reproduction. Chest perimeter under the armpits is between 100 and 110cm, depending on how thigh the laces are. Length is around 50cm front and 45cm back.
Made of two halves, closed by pins and laces. Brass. Chest perimeter at armpit level 115cm (40cm wide, 25cm long). Length 49cm front and 46cm back. Head opening 18cm diameter.
