Gioi,interesting pictures!So Connolly doesn't take the first picture for quilted linothorax?If not this then what?
Dan,I did not nessesarily suggest that the cuirass was black in reality,just painted in whatever colour that is darker than the grey-white of iron and the yellow of bronze.It could have been dark red or purple for example.The one think I simly exclude is iron,for the reasons stated above,and what is for certain is that the artist wanted to separate the ordinary stereotype depiction of bronze cuirasses(like the one to the right) from this "strange" darker edition.What else can we say than it's evidence for PAINTED metal armour.Something was said about leather cuirass,but this if it's about to be continued anymore,should go to the appropriate thread.

PS.Gioi,this is an unfortunate propaganda against Demosthenes
