they had a picture of a suit of chain armor, and a boeotian helmet (with a spike on it), that was found I think in a temple, and dated to the late 3rd to 2nd century BC.Originally Posted by Dutchhoplite

Re: Historical background of unit(s)
That's most likely referring to the reliefs from the stoa of the temple of Athena Nikephoros from Pergamon, which have been dated to around 180 BC.
Polybius refers to troops armed "in the Roman manner" wearing mail. There is no mention of phalangites wearing mail in Polybius.also, a visit to Polybios is in order.
