Testing of a Linothorax in HD

This reconstruction is part of a larger research paper into the linothorax, a specific type of tube and yoke cuirass.  The idea was to move beyond testing only sample materials from which this armor was constructed to testing the entire armor as a system.  This type of testing accounts for the dynamic nature of the armor as a system when it is struck with an arrow, factors which are not taken into account when conducting more traditional static test of generic, laminated linen patches.
