Roman Muscle Cuirass

Roman Muscle Cuirass



‎The muscle cuirass was a type of body armor designed to fit the wearer's torso, imitating an idealized human physique. It became widespread in Greece in about 400 B.C. Greek and Roman art often shows generals, emperors, and deities wearing such armor. In Roman sculpture, the muscle cuirass often portrays mythological scenes. Lower ranking officers sometimes wore simpler cuirasses in combat situations. The anatomy of muscle cuirasses might be either realistic or abstract.
‎1 Sam 17:38–39, 1 Chr 10:9, Eph 6:11–13

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
