]]> The “Roman-style” armour evoked the armour of ancient Rome. The Renaissance taste for reviving antiquity was taken to its highest expression with this armour without copying Roman models exactly, although they are reinterpreted. This armour was made for Guiobaldo II della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, as indicated by the initials in the centre of the skirt of the back, linked to those of his wife Guilia Varano. This armour was in the Royal Armoury, as the Duke must have given it to Philip II as a gift, possibly in gratitude for his appointment as a Knight of the Order of the Fleece in 1561, to whose service he entered in 1558. The waistband bears the signature of Bartolomeo Campi, who made the armour in just two months.
