Quote:Quote:thorax ek dermatosDoesn´t it say "thorax made of skin/hide"? Where comes "leather" in here? Going for "skin/hide" would, then again, explain the "standing" shoulder flaps on the vase paintings, btw.
And ask yourselves: what would you rather wear: Armour made from leather or from hide?.
I´d wear hide.
What is the specific term for leather as opposed to hide?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
