But if you have a rigid and heavy metal plate inside cloth, you have to fasten it in one way or the other, otherwise the cloth will be destroyed very easily. If the plates were small and would not cover whole parts of the breast or the back, a fastening would have been even more desired, to prevent the change of position. Do you see such methods of fastening in the pictures? I have not looked at the sources under this aspect yet, but I'm very sceptical about it.
Edit: So the Thebes finds are from the "Mycenian" period or shortly afterwards? I thought I read about it, that is not so inspiring for our theme. We need a finding from after 500 BC. :wink:
