Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas

[hoplite14gr]

Resources Cristian.
Where hides were easily aquired that type of arrmor would dominate.
Where linen was easily aquired linen armor would dominate.
Did they mix materials? A matter of speculation.

Homer uses the word "linothoriktos" linen armor in 2nd rapsody where he describes the eqipment of Ajax of Oileus (NOT the tall guy!).
I belive that spolas is probably a subarmalis becasue after anuble of nasty experiences peopl would learn to guard from blunt trauma.

Kind regards
