Quote:Anyway, they're using supposed "ancient glue methods" in their construction. I thought the current consensus is that there is no convincing proof that the ancient Greeks had any such glues as we understand them, and therefore likely used either layered/quilted linens or tawed leather? Please correct if I am wrong. :?
There is nothing at all to support the existence of a glued linothorax. They can't even produce a text that mentions both glue and linen armour in the same book.
