Linothorax construction with alternative fabric

Quote:He also said that the pturges were plaited

Could be a dodgy translation. What does the original Greek say?

Quote:What's you take on the Glauberg statue?

It is too crude to interpret. Nothing in that statue is proportional - the legs are too fat, the arms are too thin, the head is to small, the shield is too small, the pteruges are too short. The only thing that can be said is that it is likely some kind of tube-and-yoke armour.
