Description

 

This most famous and beautiful pectorale of the trilobate style armor ever found is now a Nix Imperial exclusive.  Minuet detail has been adhered too and followed to bring this 2200 year old piece back to life.  Although this could have been worn by Greeks, it is thought to be Italian and possibly legionary in use by a member of legio linteata.  The decorative motifs like the bucranium on the shoulders, the lintel decorated with patera sacrificail bowls and temple colonnades refer to sacrifice and maybe refer to oaths taken by legio linteata members.  Minerva here wears a triple crested helmet as does her Greek equivalent Athena Promachos.
