Leather Cuirass

[Magnus]

Apparently some members of RAT can't read properly, or else don't understand what they read! :roll:
I have referred to the evidence both here, and to the references in the other threads (e.g. by Duncan Head). To suggest otherwise is simply to refuse to be open-minded. I repeat, can any one come up with some direct evidence for linen hoplite tube-and-yoke cuirasses ( linothorax is clearly inappropriate, since the term was long obsolete when this type of cuirass appears? )

How can you say that when you're being just as stubborn? People here have shot more holes in your theory than swiss cheese, and you yourself have produced not one piece of concrete evidence that supports your theory. Then, when people demonstrate to you the evidence for linen, when there is no doubt it was used, and not leather, you ignore them. You question constantly which tells me you're reading, but not absorbing and thinking about it.
