Bronze breastplate armor was also used, in forms such as a bell cuirass. Less common was the opposite combination of lamellar cuirass worn with laminar pauldrons and tassets. The word cuirass for a breastplate indicates that these were originally made of leather. The French term means "one with a cuirass" ("cuirasse"), the breastplate armour which they wore. Some wore mail shirts, while others wore scale armor or "lorica segmentata" or laminated-strip cuirass. The gorget was often strapped to both the breast and backplate of the cuirass. The Emperor wears a cuirass over his short tunic. Roman armour, particularly the muscle cuirass, has symbolized amazing power. In Roman sculpture, the muscle cuirass is often highly ornamented with mythological scenes. He wears a military cloak "(paludamentum)" and a cuirass ornamented with a gorgoneion. Scale armor was adopted as well as a composite metal cuirass. They were also equipped with a cuirass and helmet. Tomb II at Vergina contained an iron muscle cuirass that was decorated with embossed gold. Attila draws his bow and fires at Alexander, but the bronze cuirass shatters the arrow. A cuirass and shield appear in the background at her feet.
