Roman use of T-Y style armour

[Adventurous Artisan]

In my current research quest to nail down something for Herod the Great's soldiers I ran into the question of whether or not anyone might still be using a recognisable form of the T-Y cuirass in the 1st Cent. BC/AD.  The notes got out of hand so I decided to put them into a form vaguely resembling a paper of some kind.  It was only ever meant for my coworkers benefit and it hasn't been proofread or anything of that sort.  But I wondered what folks here on RAT would think of it.

Please don't crucify me....  If anybody takes a peek at it I would be honoured.  If anyone can spare the time to let me know what they think of it (and if I've gone off the deep end) I would be extremely grateful.  I'm really new to ancient stuff.

Cheers

Very interesting

Looks like a reasonable overview. The only thing I would take issue with is not classifying Hellenistic and Roman armour as "tube and yoke". IMO it definitely is, including hamata.
