Hi Stefanos,
I suspect you have started a topic that will run and run............
I have a 300 page unpublished thesis, carried out on a multi-disciplinary basis, on the subject of "The effectiveness of Greek armour in the Persian Wars". It provides a great deal of scientific research on the subject - ballistics, energy of weapons and so on, and so on.
Unfortunately, because the material can't even be stated with any
certainty, it is very brief on the subject of non-metal corselets !
It is very good on helmets, metallic armour and shields. I haven't time to expound at length, but will contribute bits and pieces as the thread develops.
Well done for raising a great subject !!
regards, Paullus Scipio/Paul McDonnell-Staff
