Super cool, clearly. Though I think my cuirass would have something other than dudes killing other dudes. Like a cuirass with nice, full fields of wheat. Or a well stocked library. Heck, even the trial scene from the shield of Achilles.. https://twitter.com/SarahEBond/status/1261012582162464769 …

A question regarding that. Would citizens who owned their own cuirass wear it during day to day activities? Perhaps to show off when going to the market etc.? Or did they just keep it at home until the day to use it had come?

Very context dependent on the society. *Generally* no, since armor is uncomfortable. In Rome, very much no - wearing armor in civilian affairs was v. strange (Cicero and Augustus both do it in exceptional circumstances, and it generates comment in the sources)

Exceptions: in certain periods/places in late-medieval/early modern europe, it seems that - for the military aristocrats - some forms of military armor/dress were considered acceptable alternatives to non-military formal dress. So you might wear your armor to court.

But that is, and I want to stress, unusual *even*for*the*middle*ages* both in period (in most periods you would wear civilian formal clothes to court) and in place (in most places in any period, you would wear civilian formal clothes to court)
