To set the record straight.
I posted staf including art exmples trying to support the theory.
The members pointed out that the evidence I showed were not supporting the case. Fair enough thats why I posted them here : to be accepted or to be dismissed.
So far hide armor is just plausiible not certain.and as I posted before we do not knowi what hide/leather hardening techiques the anscients used .
I saw sole leather that was difficult to penetrate with a shoe makers tools.
If the ancients had that hide/leather it is open to speculation and I certainly dont know if it was possibble to make even a bell type cuirras from it.
Kind regfards
