Part 3/10:
To reconstruct the Linothorax authentically, Bartell and his mentor scoured ancient literature, successfully cataloging 65 references from 40 different authors discussing the armor. Their research extended into the realm of ancient art, identifying around 1,000 depictions across various mediums—from vase paintings to tomb art. By synthesizing these insights, they aimed to reverse-engineer a pattern for crafting the armor.
