Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
#72
Quote: Considering the best preserved scale armour from the period at the met is leather scales laced to a leather backing, .
Except that the provinance and date of that particular item is disputed. A better example would be the Macedonian example posted earlier on this thread. I have no real problem with the claim that Greeks sometimes wore leather scale armor. Scale/lamellar is the most prevalent type of leather armour in many cultures. I have more of a problem with the tube and yoke style armour being made of leather.
