Quote:Dan ponco is a valid speculation but I think that spollas was leather possibly used for padding under the armor initialy.Where is the evidence that leather was ever used to pad/line metal armour? All the evidence points to felt or linen. If the spolas was ever worn under armour then it was likely not made of leather.
