Personalizing a Linothorax
#1
Seeing how many users here and across the web have beautifully decorated their linothorax armor, I wanted to ask, I have recently purchased a linothorax (interestingly it was a prop for the "Alexander" movie. I know it will need some modifications before it is fully accurate, but I am assured it is a decent piece, being made with multiple layers of linen as well as the overall correct shape) and wanted to ask while I research some designs, where do you guys get your inspiration from? Is it from a historical context or is there some artistic licensing?

I have seen simple leather additions, but also ones as fanciful as a checkerboard linothorax, and of course some bronze scale additions. I am ideally aiming for a 5th Century Hoplite, either Spartan or Athenian if that helps narrow it down (or broadens it Confusedmile: )Thanks
