Leather Cuirass

[Dan Howard]

I have no idea whether they existed. My contention is that there is not a scrap of evidence to support the theory. It is a logical impossibility to prove a negative. It is up to those who support the theory to provide the evidence. I have yet to see any. You can't use the existence of leather armour in other cultures or even in the same culture in a different time period to support the argument that it was used in classical Greece. The spolas argument can't be made until someone demonstrates that it was standalone armour and not intended to be worn under armour.
