I have been reading this thread and it is so frustrating to see that it has got so little distance from its origin, for the record i will introduce a few frescos of linothorax that have survived;
1. Sarcophagus of the Priest
2. Bella Tumulus, Tomb Fresco
3. Levkadhia, Great Tomb
4. Sarcophagus of the Amazons
5. Vulci, Francois tomb
All of these frescos show linothoraxes painted for the majority in white and decorated with blues, pinks, reds and other colours. I have not come across a single image painted in antiquity of a linothorax that is brown.
