Hi I am in the process of moving so all my books are in boxes so i cant find the reference i want but i do remember a quote where two guys give a spolas to a begger to make him go away and are not concerned because it is a thing of little value, there is also a quote where a greek who was out with the scythes (?? i think) is embarresed that he has only a spolas to wear instead of a linen tunic.
These quotes do cast some doubt over the spolas as armour or just a leather jacket ???
