Leather Cuirass

[Magnus]

I have to say, your absolute refusal to even discuss the use of leather to make armour in Greco-Roman history is kind of odd. Last time I checked, people in this thread were discussing primary evidence, even if the debating flowed away from this topic from time to time.

That's because like Paullus you seem to think it's "ok" to base theories on only one type of evidence (ART), as I tried to get through to you in the other thread. This is simply folly.

Evidence types:

1. Archaeological

2. Documentary

3. Artistic

You need a combination of two of the above at the very least to support a theory that has little basis in reality. I have yet to see either in the previous thread, or this one, that don't rely heavily on biased speculation.
