maybe if you used superglue, but definitely not with natural glues available at the time.. once broken, you need a new armor.. and i didnt even mentioned whole another story of cleaning, and weather effect and maintenance etc..

besides, having such a rigid glued plate is not that different from metalic plate.. and metal would provide much better protection and would be much easier to wear.. like those Italic musculated plates Samnites used
