This gladiator looking muscle show off protection is not from the roman times. It is coming straight from our crazy century. A company from Israel has developed this Armor that is formed from a newly discovered inorganic nanostructure.
Apparently this armor is five times stronger than steel and two times more resistant than standard bullet proof vests. It is supposed to be the ultimate armor of tomorrow. ApNano is going to develop this material for bullet vests and vehicles.
I can already imagine Israel invading the planet with their unbreakable soldiers. Wow, i just realized, this ApNano company could actually do some big business with Lord of War.
this picture is of regular steel piriod armor i actulay have the exact peice sitting in front of me right now you can buy it from a number of retailers for about 130 bucks(check your scources next time)
