Linothorax construction with alternative fabric
#9
I appreciate the reply, but I am the co-author of the linen armor book with Greg Aldrete, and there are a great number of academics who are convinced linen armor was a 'thing' in the ancient world and used extensively by numerous cultures. Even if we ignore all the modern scholarship, there are dozens of references from ancient authors which talk about linen armor. Glued, quilted, stitched together -- we don't know, that is correct. But the fact is, linen armor existed. There isn't even an argument.
