Quote:Heres another one for the mix, the linen armour may have been better protection from archers than bronze. My experiments have shown that 16 layers of linen sewn together will stop an arrow that half a millimeter thick steel wont!

Yes there are many types of linothorax (ancient word) and scales were applied to the outside of many but definatley not all.

Very intersting Jason.
Please advise type of bow and arrows.
The 16 layers were just sewn or glued also?
Bronze and Iron have differnt metalic qualities.
Have you tried bronze plate in the experiments?
That might explain the resistance of the phalanx or thessalian cavalry
Sorry for this qustions bombardment, I just want to know more.
Kind regards
