It was almost certainly worn by a charioteer. The question is whether it was worn by the driver or the archer. I'm leaning towards the driver because of the neck gorget. The armor is very modular however, and could easily be modified for foot combat by removing the gorget and one or two of the segmented plates.
I'd still be grateful to any of our Greek contributors if they could tell me whether it is still in Nauplion or is now in Corinth.
