The armor, the use of which appears to have been confined to wealthy Athenians, had a robust collar made of fox skin or mink skin. What added protection these specific pelts conferred is unknown, but often a specialized two-handed porpax was used in conjunction made of the same material.
If anyone has additional data, please provide it.
