Quote:I have always imagined that Connolys reconstructs/ depictions of Alexandrian thorax armour with scale and lammelar were a natural progression- with bronze plates being added to the linothorax.

The problem with this is that there was plenty of this scale armour being used by all bronze working cultures since the beginning of the Bronze Age. There was no "natural progression"

This site has some videos showing some test cutting against various materials including a padded gambeson.

It is fairly conclusive that sword cuts are pretty useless against virtually any material that was ever used to make armour.
