LRB's with a heroic cuirass

[Victor]

On many LRB's, the soldier/Emperor on the reverse looks like he is very muscular, with pectorals and abdominals on display. This is actually armor that is being worn that looks like a soldier's body, with a cloak draped over a shoulder. The term heroic armor describes it as best as anything. Below are some coins with examples and the last picture is what an example would have looked like.
