Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
#45
This 'diamond and dot' pattern, which seems to represent quilting is all but identical to that shown on the red Persian Tube-and-Yokes on the Alexander/Issus mosaic.Although the view here is from the rear, the corselet could still be a 'one-piece' Tube-and Yoke' ( of which there are many representations) and from the front would still have the characteristic shoulder-pieces....
