Interestingly it is apparent that the 'new' Tube-and-Yoke corselet spread rapidly when it appeared......here is an Etruscan vase depicting them, as early as c.500B.C.....the yoke part is difficult to see, thinly outlined ( implying the artist was not familiar with it perhaps? ) but they are definitely classic Tube-and-Yoke.....
