Glueing a Linothorax

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Most re-enactors sew it only in the red line. Some few sew it around the back decoration for more safety. Certainly not in the blue lines. These should be "in the air" when the tube bents. There is no clear depiction of stitching in sculpture or pottery but the fact that some times the place along the red line is decorated has been interpreted by some as stitching cover. No proof for this but it's a theory. I just glued my yoke,but if i were to stitch it,I would do it along the red line only.
