Cod Piece
Weapon
 
  Solid bronze, or even leather cod pieces, were only in use very early in cuirass development.  By the time of the foundation of Rome, they had mostly vanished.  In a sense a cod piece looks like a modern jock strap, except armored.  They protect the private areas, and a bit of the waist.  Eventually it was decided that it was to hard to move in a cod piece, and they were replaced with wide bronze belts to protect the waist.
  Cod pieces are used by the Aestivan army's heavy Hypaspist's.  They are uncomfortable to wear(for both sexes), and are best used in conjunction with a cuirass of some sort, and so are not for sale in Iridine.  The only place you might find one is off a dead hyaspist.

Cod pieces are available at:

They may only be found on dead hyaspist's.
