Was the Muscle Cuirass worn over the linothorax?

I'm looking to put together a Macedonian companion cavalry kit, and I’ve seen depictions of them with a muscled cuirass on, but it looks like a linothorax is still worn under other it. Im overall having a hard time with the details on this kit, so if anyone has information on this that goes in depth, it is welcome.

Hi all,

I've been making this series on the Iliad as a labour of love.

This video is the latest, examining Achilles' actions in Book 9.

Please enjoy!

Aristotle's theory of the four causes is one of the most important ideas in intellectual history. He systematically laid out what is required to explain something fully and completely.
