The development of metallic cuirasses in the Mediterranean area from the Geometric period until Hellenistic times is a complex process, characterised by a phenomenon of numerous interdependencies. Although this group of objects has been overlooked by the research, its study is a perfect starting for further investigations about topics such as war in the antiquity and the relative social and ideological aspects. The project is based on the study of the cuirasses proceeding from the German excavations in Olympia, here to be investigated for the first time, and on the entire catalogue of finds of such type from Thrace and Southern Italy. There will be place as well for new items yet unpublished. Starting from this background it will be possible to conduct specific researches about the social and military structures (Warfare) of the populations of Aegean Sea, Thrace and Southern Italy. It thus will be possible also to infer the cultural identity of the owners of these cuirasses. The debate on this topic can be successful only if based on complementary perspectives. Firstly, a direct investigation of the items is necessary. Secondly, a cultural, chronological and functional classification has to be done. This will be based on the analysis of the archaeological contexts and of the iconography, through the evidence of vases and sculptures. The project would be part of a main focus of the research conducted at the 'Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum of Mainz about ''Archaeological studies on exchange and cultural adaptation in border areas''.

从几何时期到希腊化时代，地中海地区金属硫化物的发展是一个复杂的过程，其特点是许多相互依存的现象。虽然这一组对象被研究忽视了，但它的研究是进一步研究古代战争以及相关的社会和意识形态方面的一个完美的开始。该项目是基于对德国在奥林匹亚的挖掘而产生的硫磺的研究，这里是第一次进行调查，以及来自色雷斯和意大利南部的这类发现的整个目录。还将有地方为尚未出版的新项目。从这一背景出发，将有可能对爱琴海、色雷斯和意大利南部人口的社会和军事结构(战争)进行具体研究。因此，还有可能推断出这些手铐所有者的文化身份。只有以互补的观点为基础，关于这一专题的辩论才能取得成功。首先，有必要对这些物品进行直接调查。其次，必须进行文化、时间和功能分类。这将基于对考古背景和图像的分析，通过花瓶和雕塑的证据。该项目将是在美因茨RöMisch-Germanisches中心博物馆进行的关于“关于边境地区交流和文化适应的考古研究”研究的主要重点的一部分。
