Examples of cuirass in the following topics:
-
- In addition to his adopting the body language and attire of a general, the relief on the cuirass shows one of Augustus's greatest victories—the return of the Parthian standards.
- Additional figures on the cuirass personify Roman gods and the arrival of Augustan peace.
- Although he wears boots, which would appear to contradict the suggestion of humbleness seen in full-length sculptures of Augustus, his plain cuirass and the absence of religious iconography suggest a competent leader who does not promote his accomplishments or divine ancestry.
-
- Details such as the cuirass (breastplate), skirt, armor, and cloak are highly stylized and based on simple shapes and the repetition of lines.
