Leather Cuirass

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Wolfgang,I think the only way to post here is to have the pics somewhere in the web.For example photobucket.com. Sign up and download there your pics,it's very useful in a forum like this.

Well,trying to shed some light in the chiton-jerkin-thorax-spolas or anything else-thing,I did a quick search in my vase photos.Most of them depict soldiers because I usually save photos that have to do with warfare.
Here they are:

He's clearly not a hoplite and he's wearing extra defence so I take the undergarment as a chiton-no pleats like the lower part.

Again not hoplite.You could say it is an overgarment,but see how bulcky it is near the belt.For me,another chiton.

Again not a soldier.The Medusa is wearing a chiton with pleats shown in the upper part.Perseus is wearing an identical one,without pleats.
