Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
And as a follow on, in the description of Olympia:

Quote:Next to the treasury of the Sicyonians is the treasury of the Carthaginians, the work of Pothaeus, Antiphilus and Megacles. In it are votive offerings--a huge image of Zeus and three linen breast-plates, dedicated by Gelo and the Syracusans after overcoming the Phoenicians in either a naval or a land battle.

Clearly, linen breastplates are worth commentary--and are alien. And used by foreigners. Or so this says to me.
Qui plus fait, miex vault.
