Linothorax again

[hoplite14gr]

Thanks Dan,
I followed your suggestion.
I cut the cloth with a pair of scissors. And then I put it over two pork stakes to simulate the body effect. since I couldn´t afford to waste the meat no glues natural or otherwise were used.
First I tried with 8 layers. Well not enough. Knifes and lether worker´s thin wedge penetated and the stakes were stabbed
With 16 layers the last 2 layers close to the meat were enough to stop the knifes and scissors. In all my attempts the last layer was enough to hold even if the other 15 layers were penterated.
Again the lether worker´s thin wedge penetated albait with more difficulty than previously. Well the sarissa must have been deadly indeed.
The experiment came to sudden end when my wife with incredulus look on her face ordered me out of her "realm".
Sacrifices for the sake of scientific research !:
Hope that might help linothorax researchers
Kind regards
