Hello,

I'm at a loss for the right seach terms so I request a little help looking for images.

I'm looking for examples of the kind of Greek and Roman inspired armour from the Renaissance era. The kind that combines elements of Greek linothorax, Roman segmentata, and conteporary plate harness and other such varieties.

Thanks,
Steven

Charles V had an "Alla Romana" harness. Our Feature article on him shows it. Happy

Steven,

I think you need to get a copy of ' Heroic Armour of the Italian Renaissance; Filippo Negroli and his contemporaries', It is available direct from the Metropolitam Museum, New York.......

Here is a link:

http://www.metmuseum.org/store/st_family_view...02786BF44}

It is one of the most sumptuous books on armour ever printed! And it is under $30 ! Eek! So everybody who has any interest in armour should have one !

It is highly recommended.........well, by me anyway! Big Grin

Regards as ever,

Russ

Follow-up question: any suggestions on search terms that'll help looking for this kind of stuff?

I have heard it referred to as "anime" armour for some reason. No idea if the term is historical. Doesn't seem to be based in the Easter drawing vogue at all... Question

Anime is what mostly but not exclusively eastern europeans used from the middle of the 16th century, theoretically taking the idea of multiple horizontal lames from the ottomans. See hungarian and polish hussar breastplates, compare with yushman variants.
This kind of armour is either alla antica or alla romana, IF I remember correctly.
I hope I could help.

Here's a discussion of anime armour: http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=5787

All the armour that hearkens back to classical times can be called alla antica. Only if it imitates Roman styles can it be called alla Romana. Happy

I've used the term "neoclassical" when describing 16th c. burgonets inspired by ancient examples. I don't know if anybody else does that, though It's technically correct as long as you don't capitalize it.
