The "official" segmentel armor is the Hellenistic perios with catafract cavalry.
The arm protecxtion in Ancient Greece roughly 800 B.C.
Although there are metal fragments that can be interpreted as arm protection in the late Mycenean period.
Agree with Dan that the crude art form leaves a lot to speculation but they had the resouces and technology to do it if they wanted too. It needs corroboration though; on its own it does not tell much.
Kind regards
