Quote:To Matt; I have set out the sources for evidence, so that everyone can decide for themselves. Up until now, there has been absolutely no contemporary evidence for linen. If the case for a leather Spolas is not strong, the case for linen made out here is so far non-existent, with the honourable exception of the Alcaeus reference set out above by Sean which looks promising, though as a single piece of evidence it is hardly conclusive.
What about all of the paintings showing light coloured armour? Last I checked leather is brown. Given the complete lack of mention of leather, seems to me linen is the logical choice.
