Just a reminder that the US concept of "manliness" was invented in the early 1900s to sell razors, beer and movie tickets. It is not some ancient practice. It is a creation of ad execs.

Those symbolized wealth and aristocracy. Arms and armor, horsemanship, plain old brawn are probably more tied to an old definition of 'manliness' than those you listed.

Arms, armour, and in particular horsemanship predominantly signified wealth as well, and were markers of a landowning class well into the modern era. The point isn't that historical people didn't have a vision of masculinity, but that the vision is not stable through time.
