The Athenian Breastplate

The Athenian Breastplate was a type of breastplate commonly worn by the Athenian troops in classical Greece. Light, yet sturdy, this was favored for a reason.

During the Peloponnesian War, the breastplate was a common sight on battlefields as well as in the inventories of blacksmiths, as Athens clashed with Sparta.[1]
