The Linothorax Project
#1
Not sure if anyone saw this, but I thought some might be interested:

The UWGB Linothorax Project: Reconstructing and Testing Ancient Linen Body Armor

Some researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay found a way to make linothorax armor using materials available in ancient Greece. Apparently, it stops arrows.

The website has a couple of videos, some interesting pictures, and a pdf for a linothorax pattern.
