...since everything else Aeneas lists are weapons/armour, the 'stolidia' referred to could well be a variation on 'Stole/spola' and hence a reference to leather Tube-and-yokes as Paul B. suggested earlier in this thread....much more useful to revolutionaries than lit: "diminutive of body covering" being translated as 'cloaks'. If you are going to translate this as cloaks, then one might as well translate 'thorakes lineous' as "linen garments" !! :lol: :lol:
