Product Details
The Greek Linothorax Cuirass is not just an armor; it’s a historical piece that embodies the valor and craftsmanship of ancient warriors. Inspired directly by the glorious armory of the Greek Hoplites of Athens and Sparta, this armor served its purpose on the battlefields where legends clashed, especially during the significant events of the Peloponnesian War. It’s fascinating to note how the Linothorax armor evolved through time, also being worn by the illustrious Phalangists of Alexander ‘The Great’s army. This connection to such rich history makes it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Painstakingly handcrafted from genuine leather and robust canvas, our Greek Linothorax cuirass embraces both tradition and functionality. Unlike contemporary bronze muscled cuirass, this linothorax is lighter, ensuring that its wearer remains agile and less prone to overheating during intense activities. Imagine being on a historical reenactment stage, donning this sophisticated armor, and feeling the history enveloping you.
The design features long and sturdy leather pteruges that hang down from the lower part of the cuirass, providing essential protection for the groin and upper legs. This attention to detail not only exemplifies protection but also grants the authenticity needed in reenactments or presentations of ancient Greek warfare.
One of the visually striking features is the Gorgon Medusa antique brass adornment firmly affixed at the center of the torso. This addition not only represents the historical relevance, as Gorgon imagery was often seen in ancient armory, but it also adds an artistic touch that catches the eye and sparks conversations among fellow enthusiasts.
Available in three different sizes – Medium, Large, and Extra-large – this piece ensures that everyone can find their perfect fit. We also provide a detailed size chart included with the photographs to guide your selection, ensuring that this remarkable armor adapts to your form.
