Leather Cuirass

[hoplite14gr]

What are the references or art interpretations that can be interpreted that the pteruges were attached?

There are numerous examples of just cuirasses, standing or sitting on their own, being illustrated with pteruges. That strongly suggests that the pteruges are attached to some kind of fixed liner in the cuirass and not a separate undergarment.

Fine with that but that does not exclude the undergarment option just because som cuirrasses had attachments.

@ Dunkan Head
The image shows ahoplite with bobcat or leoprd hide.
could this be aspollas?

That doesn't look like a patterned hide at all. It looks like a plain tunic with a patterned border and a white break or scratch above and below the spearhead. Is there something I'm missing?

The image is shrunk to fit here. I will try to find a better image on Pereus.
I recall nails in on the hanging paws.
I doubt if it is a spolas though since animal hides were described as pelti or with the name of the animal Milote-sheepskin Leonde-lionskin.

Kind regards
