Is there other evidence for double breasted besides the iron corselet from vergina (and that image that started this thread)? Do you know for sure if the bottom front panel actaully extends all the way across the front of the armor? It is very difficult to tell if it actually goes all the way to the right side from the pictures I have.
In that armor above, I had always assusmed that the vine-like thing was some sort of "belt" , but the vertical line is over top of it, so it must be a painted on/applied/embroidered decoration.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
