And what about ancient sources or attestations?
If you are trying to make a point I fail to see it. I'm not about to dredge up all the sources that have been cited on this very website. Do your own work.
I have done my own work. I have been researching this for over five years now. Nothing I have ever come across from ancient sources ever suggests quilted armor. Unless I am overlooking each and every source which speaks about quilted armor???
I'm not asking for an entire list of every ancient source which cites quilted armor, just a few. I am curious where your unmovable opinion is based?
