My friend Romylos, small corrrection. Achiles dismounts near Skamander and performes horrific carnage on foot. No Homeric hero was averse to fight on foot.
As to the original topic: Our Australian frind did a good job with his linen sub armalis. Spollas is apoen to a lot of speculation and debate.
In the lab of the British Meusum they told me that they cannot make out the organic material found in the inside of armor elements.
Is is open speculation ranging from chiton's cloth threads to linen and leather lining.
Kind regards
