In roman times any sort of mail cuirass, would by simple definition,
have been called a Lorica Hamata, however in Midlight there has been an
actual line drawn between the two pieces of armor. The mail cuirass
of Midlight does not run to the knees, instead, like the muscle cuirass,
it stops just below the chest. Chest, and back protection have both
been strengthened over the normal lorica hamata, so that the mail cuirass
is superior to the lorica hamata in both those areas. For those of
you who have cod pieces, and other armor that protects the waist, and who
can afford the weight, I highly recommend the mail cuirass. Espicially
good for warriors who like to have specialized armor for every area of
their body.
Generally this type of short lorica, is used by armies of Midlight
who depend on oversized shields (like the Aestivan Phylanx) for chest protection.
The Iridine legions prefer to use the lorica hamata, however the mail cuirass
does rear it's head here and there.
