This is the kind of reaction I was hoping as a moderator to avoid on RAT. Now, with absolutely jack squat in the way of evidence, we have people doing greek armour a la hollywood style.
Way to go guys promoting something you have no evidence for, just whimsical theories based on speculation.
So much for RAT being a scholarly forum. :evil:
I have to say, your absolute refusal to even discuss the use of leather to make armour in Greco-Roman history is kind of odd. Last time I checked, people in this thread were discussing primary evidence, even if the debating flowed away from this topic from time to time.

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
