Metal plate beneath Linothorakes or Spolades

[PMBardunias]

To my knowledge the only scale harness remnant found in a Greek context was found at Isthmia in 1989. Its a single bronze scale in a late archaic context. So only hen`s teeth and iron scales are rarer

This was my understanding as well, but I asked because sometimes these things slip past me Given the far better survivability of bronze, one could even make a case that the lack of finds means that bronze was rare something more perishable like iron or leather the norm! ( I wouldn't make that case, but I merely point out how unhelpful archaeology is in this matter!)
