Tweak my T&Y (linothorax/spolas) pattern, ca 500bc
#21
Hello Daniel.
The simplest attachment points would be simple bronze rings.These could also have a bronze disc under them,like the rosettes of the shield rings. You could make these discs yourself with a hole in the center and you could either make them a bit dished or carve a rosette/flower design if you trust your hand. Alternatively,you could order shield rosettes. DSC make them and also Talerwin forge ( http://www.talerwin.com/sheilds.htm ) have these ones that look good: http://www.talerwin.com/images/shieldima...CN1933.JPG
I had mine made by Matt Lukes. Try to find small diamter rings if you want to have a disk under them.
Tip: No matter where you want your shoulder flaps to reach,put the attachemt points some distance lower. You could either have one attachment in the center,two or even three,where there would be one for each flap,serving to keep them in place but the strings would be tied together to a third attachment point in the center.
