Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Looking forward to Kineas' cuirass,too. I believe it will look great. Perhaps better than many linen ones. As I said above,this doesn't prove much,unfortunately.
Cole,you are right in many things,however,I can't ignore that the tube and yoke appears in the exact same form in art from 530-350 bc. This is decades before and after the Persian Wars. Nor do I think that one of the many particular industries in Athens could be used as evidence of what the t&y was made of. I agree that the Dendra panoply and the lining of the Vergina cuirass are irrelevant to the subject. However a find of quilted linen from mycenean armour is not irrelevant at all. Now you'll say where are these finds of mycenean line armour? Well,I don't know,but they're more specific than the "many" finds of leather body armour from Macedonian graves.
