The first cuirassier of the Roman Army did not appear very different from the fully armored Late Medieval soldier. They, cuirassiers of the Roman Army, wore three-quarters armor that covered the entire upper body with armor breastplate as well as the front half of the legs down to the knee. The head of the medieval cruirassier was protected by a close helm, burgonet or lobster tail pot with a gorget for the neck. The torso was protected by a breast plate and a back plate which was sometimes reinforced by a _placate_. The arms and shoulders were fully armored with pauldrons, rerebraces, elbow couters and vambraces. Long tassets protected the front of the thighs and knees. The armor of the medieval cuirassier was quite expensive and in England, in 1609, cost about four pounds and ten shillings. Today, a costume of this magnitude is not very expensive thanks to the availability of metals and leather. After all, wearing a costume of this elegance and history will be worth every penny that you spend. Important Features:
