Another question.
I get a lot of questions to my website, here's one I can't answer.
As far as I know, this cuirass is largely ceremonial, but it is not my area of expertise.
Any sources?

Quote:Do you know anyplace I might get some detailed information on the construction of the cuirass of Philip of Macedon found in the tomb at Vergina? I am fascinated by this armor, which seems to be a metal version of the linothorax, but I can't find out how it was put together, were the iron plates attached to a leather or fabric base, etc.
