Loricata and Other Images
Following are images of lorica I have
found. I particularly link to images
that are interesting or unique. I
make no claims for any of these links, or their reliability. I also operate under the assumption
that all of these images are copyrighted.
The
Muscle Cuirass Good images, mostly from Robinson, which is now out of
print; often the text is questionable or out of date.
Loricata
of Germanicus from the Museum of Amelia (Italian) Very cool images, rare iconography from the
Iliad.
Quicktime VR view
of
a loricata of Trajan in the Fogg Museum at Harvard
(Perseus Project)
Great
images of genuine Roman Gear from Legio VI (includes bronze cuirass that is
most likely Greek or Apulian)
A fabulous image of a loricata
from the Bologna Museum in Italy. The cuirass has Hippocampi and Nereids, a rare marine theme.It also has the two tiered system of
narrow pteruges instead of tongue pteruges AND an anatomical waistline. Very odd combination.
A
loricata with Barbarians, Candelabrum and Griffins. Also an image of Helios on the Breast.
