Why Stolidia? There should be no need to sneak in cloaks and cloaks don't really seem to fin in with the rest of the obviously military panoply.
So based on absolutely no evidence, but the the fact that someplace on here someone once wrote that Spolas was simply a regional (lakedaimonian?) variant of the same root as Stola, can this be read as "linen corselets, leather corselets, ..."
Just a thought- I'm a uniter not a divider :lol:

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
