Funny, I suggested the exact opposite a few posts ago. So I went back and took a look, and believe that I can fairly state that we are both wrong.

Even just using examples posted in this thread: the recoloured grave stoa of Artistion and Achilles tending Patroclus wounds by the Sosias painter are two depictions of tube and yoke corselets from approximately 500 BCE. The former shows a high-waisted, long pteruged tube and yoke and the latter a short pteruged tube and yoke.

So it appears to be fair to say that the differences may well be two different styles that co-exist, not a temporal variation.

Thanks,
Cole
