So one thing that has been missing from the modern man I have noticed compared to Roman or Greek times is a male girdle. Men used to always have one on whereever they went.

Did this help improve strength and posture? What was the purpose?

It kinda does. You can push out against a wide belt to stabilize yourself and enable applying more force on something, like with modern weight belts. Not sure if the ancients knew they could do that, but if there's a bunch of art with them girded with thick belts then they probably had a reason and they were pretty knowledgeable in anatomy.
