Linothorax vs Spolas

[Ghostmojo]

... Now, it doesn't seem very logical that some of them had bronze cuirasses and the rest had animal skins hunging from their shoulders, something that stone throwels are often shown with ... And the Spartan that got killed from a Karduchian arrow, it is odd how the arrow killed him penetrating his shield and an animal skin that would lormally hung from his shoulders like a cape...

That is interesting Giannis. Do you think the Spartan might have been a soldier in a Spartan army who was not necessarily a Spartiate? It doesn't seem very logical as you say unless, and I'm speculating here admittedly, but the reference to animal skins could possibly be applied to the Skiritai who seemingly wore animal skin armour (not hung from shoulders like hamippoi) and also had shields. They were light hoplites who could function as ekdromoi too. What do you think?
