Battle of Cunaxa Illustration

[geala]

What's about the armour of the Lykian1 warrior? It seems to consist of a piece for throat and shoulders and a skirt below the waist, the rest of the upper body seems to be naked. Or?

The lower half of the shield seems to have short extensions (feathers?), really strange.

His breastplate looks like an ordinary linothorax.

I don't think so. When you enlarge the picture you will see no armour on the visible side of the warriors breast and belly. It has just the same colour as his arms and no visible rims or lines to indicate an arm hole. And the upper defense looks not like the shoulder flaps of a linothorax but similar to Egyptian shoulder/throat armours.
