Hello,

Can anyone link me to, or point me in the direction of the earliest know representation of the T-Y corselet in Greek art?

Thanks for any help!

Regards

Steve

About 525 we also have the Syphnian Treasury which has a mixture of bell cuirasses and T&Y thorakes: [url:349k252l]http://ancient-greece.org/museum/muse-delphi-siphnos.html[/url]
