Ancient Greek Bronze Cuirass

Although the bronze helm was developed at a fairly early age, bronze was not conceived as body armor for some years later. This probably had something to do with the high cost and rarity of the alloy at the beginning of the Bronze Age.

Although this cuirass is thin and next to nothing when compared to steel armor of later ages, it still offered far more protection than leather armor and was much more effective at deflecting a blow from a spear, sword, arrow, dart or stone, all of which were employed by the ancient Greek warriors.

Made as a set, the breast and backplate are adjustable with two straps and buckles at the sides and one at the shoulders. One size fits frame from about 5'6" to 6'2"; 150 to 200 lbs.
