Pteruges weren't only decorative, but also part of the protection. http://legionsix.org/basic-gear/pteruges-and-the-lorica-segmentata/ "Warfare in Ancient Greece" By Tim Everson 2001:4DD7:8ECD:0:B52E:1A06:94C0:8BA9 (talk) 07:22, 12 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Linothorax assumption

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

there is zero evidence in the written or archeological record that a linothorax was made of linen. Ancient Greek was a descriptive language made of small root words combined to form larger words in order to convey a concept. The 'lino' (or linen) root within the word linothorax is just as likely to refer to its texture or outward appearance as it is it's construction. 142.117.88.72 (talk) 01:28, 4 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
