Book Synopsis Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor by : Gregory S. Aldrete
Download or read book Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor written by Gregory S. Aldrete and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough and original study of the linothorax, the linen armor worn by Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great led one of the most successful armies in history and conquered nearly the entirety of the known world while wearing armor made of cloth. How is that possible? In Reconstructing Ancient Linen Body Armor, Gregory S. Aldrete, Scott Bartell, and Alicia Aldrete provide the answer. An extensive multiyear project in experimental archaeology, this pioneering study presents a thorough investigation of the linothorax, linen armor worn by the Greeks, Macedonians, and other ancient Mediterranean warriors. Because the linothorax was made of cloth, no examples of it have survived. As a result, even though there are dozens of references to the linothorax in ancient literature and nearly a thousand images of it in ancient art, this linen armor remains relatively ignored and misunderstood by scholars. Combining traditional textual and archaeological analysis with hands-on reconstruction and experimentation, the authors unravel the mysteries surrounding the linothorax. They have collected and examined all of the literary, visual, historical, and archaeological evidence for the armor and detail their efforts to replicate the armor using materials and techniques that are as close as possible to those employed in antiquity. By reconstructing actual examples using authentic materials, the authors were able to scientifically assess the true qualities of linen armor for the first time in 1,500 years. The tests reveal that the linothorax provided surprisingly effective protection for ancient warriors, that it had several advantages over bronze armor, and that it even shared qualities with modern-day Kevlar. Previously featured in documentaries on the Discovery Channel and the Canadian History Channel, as well as in U.S. News and World Report, MSNBC Online, and other international venues, this groundbreaking work will be a landmark in the study of ancient warfare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Helmets and Body Armor in Modern Warfare During my studies on the armor problem abroad (1917-1918) I re ceived suggestions and critical help from the members Of the general staffs Of British and French armies; through their friendly care I had the oppor tunity Of meeting armor specialists and Of securing data on experimental work and production. Among those Officers to whom I am especially in debted are: in Paris, intendant-general Adrian, Commandants Le Maistre and Polack Of the Bureau Of Inventions; in London, Captain C. H. Ley Of the Ministry of Munitions, together with Captain I. St. C. Rose and Captain Leeming Of the Trench Warfare Division; also to Mr. John Mc Intosh, director general Of the Munitions Equipment, and to Mr. W. A. Taylor in the Experimental Division of the Munitions Ministry to whose work I refer frequently in the following pages. The present introduction would be seriously incomplete if I failed to bear witness to the more than generous cooperation in this field shown by the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, from its Trustees, its President, Mr. Robert W. De Forest, and its Director, Mr. Edward Robinson, down the line. To the members Of the Committee on Educational Work, to Dr. Henry S. Pritchett and Mr. Charles W. Gould, I owe my thanks for their interest in the present work. Among my associates in the Museum to whom I am indebted I should name especially Mr. Alexander mcmillan Welch and Miss V. Isabel Miller and those who labored early and late in the Armor Workshop, Messrs. Tachaux, Bartel, Tinsley and Merkert.
