Ok so I'm almost done with my set of chainmail and ive decided to take up another project to keep me busy and learning.

Ive recently taken an interest in Linothorax and began doing research on its construction techniques. Seeing as Linothorax is made of many layers of linen i began to wonder if I would need to quilt it together or glue it, or both. From the sites that ive looked at, ive given different advice.

Also, Having taken a look at the Linothorax recreations Ive notice that the reenactors have much larger Hoplons than the ones in EB. Their Hoplons are from the Knee to the chin. In EB, they are about from the Hip to the chin. Realizing that EB strives for Historical accuracy, I was skeptical about the photos that I saw, but I decided to ask the EB team why their Hoplites have smaller Hoplons.

At first I thought it was because it was as big as the engine would let you, but then I realized that the Roman scutum is bigger so that was out of the question. Anyways, Im in no way saying that what EB has is wrong, just wondering about it.
