Minor correction:
PILOS means cup or hat although cup is more accurate.
Felt translates to Greek as EREA ot TSOCHA
I feel that fabrick protection was linen and Dan is right on that.
The campaigning period in the Meditteranean was usually from March to September. I think felt type armor might be more the case in Northern Europe. It is extemely uncomfortable to have thick wool upon you in Greece, Italy or Southern Spain during the summer. And I speak from personal experience.
Our friend TNarcher who started the post said grieves of hair.
Diodorus being a Greek would say that the Iberians "EFERON KNIMIDES ERIOY " that might just as well mean wollen socks in ancient and modern Greek. Depending on the context ERION is either wool or felt.
And KNIMIS is not only grieve again depending on the context.
Can someone quote the original reference?
Kind regards
Stefanos
