Thanks Giannis
It was a picture - I thought of an actual artefact- that was in a long ago lent but never returned copy of an encyclopaedia of arms and weapons.
It was labelled as Greek, looked alot like the "double breasted"(crossed over) scaled Thrakian T&Y in that museum (?)- buit just covered the shoulders like a Roman cavalry armour mantle with an extremely high neck protection- similar to what some are drawing for Persian cataphracts these days.
Regards
Richard
