Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor
#1
Hello,

I'm absolutely fascinated by this ancient sculpture, dating from I century AD.

I want to recreate this armor. I read everything in RAT about lamellar.

Almost no good sources to do it.

I'm curious about the cingulum : they don't have one.
I'm curious about the gladius : they wear it at officer's side. Would a regular soldier use such armor?
I'm curious about the feminalia and sleeves. For protection against the heavy sun at Palmyre?
I'm curious about the pteryges! Oblique ends.

It's parthian origin, mixed with roman elements. Maybe Palmyre artist tried to put in his gods the best of the two empires? Aniway, lamellar could be used by legionaries from that part of the Roman Empire. Or at least, locked scales armour.

Would it be linen, or leather, those curious waves juste at the bottom of the armour?
