Linothorax again
#87
Quote:So I ask again if there is any evidence to suggest that cotton was availble to Greece or Egypt before 400 B.C. ?

Actually there is. Cotton was already known in the Indus valley round 3000 BC and the Egyptians used it too from that period onwards. But in the West it was indeed a costly material.
I think using cotton for armour would have been costly and useless since I suspect linen (flax) fibers are more resistant than cotton fibers.
