Quote:It can be textile armor Gioi. There is a grave stele of a 4th century hoplite in the National Archeology Museum in Athens that shows pteryges under "muscled" armor. It was used as basis for the last plate of Osprey's "Greek hoplite".
How do you know the pteruges aren't attached to the muscle cuirass, like later Hellenistic examples?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
