Kuiras otot

Pada antikuitas klasik, kuiras otot^[1] atau kuiras heroik adalah sejenis zirah badan yang pas dengan torso pemakainya dan dirancang untuk menggambarkan bentuk tubuh ideal manusia. Zirah ini muncul pertama kali pada Yunani Arkaik akhir dan menyebar sepanjang abad ke-5 dan ke-4 SM.^[2] Kuiras otot banyak digambarkan dalam seni Yunani dan Romawi, yang menampilkannya dikenakan oleh para jenderal, kaisar, dan dewa. Dalam seni pahat Romawi, kuiras otot banyak dihiasi oleh adegan mitologis. Temuan arkeologi kuiras yang tanpa hiasan, selain juga penggambarannya oleh seniman dalam adegan pertempuran, menunjukkan bahwa versi yang lebih sederhana dikenakan dalam pertempuran.

The word musculatus (nor any verb from which it might derive) does not exist in Classical Latin, according to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, nor in late antiquity, according to the Latin Dictionary of Lewis and Short, which includes patristic writers of the early Christian era.
