Spolas
A spolas is a thin armour worn by the hypaspists in Ancient Greek battle, often made from linen or leather. It can also be a thickly woven tunic and is also similar to a linothorax. The goal of the spolas was to lighten the hoplite's standard load, down from the standard metal thorax/cuirass.
