Armor of the Divine Triad : lamellar armor

[Jori]

Here, achilles in lamellar (?) armour



I have other representations of it. My main issue, is to know small details as such :

practical details, for a roman legionary :
a) fascia ventralis or not?
b) can i use a cingulum or not? Or even 2 ?
c) do I need a subarmalis?

practical details for doing it :
d) how fix the shoulders doubling?
e) how to adjust the armour around the waist
f) how to fix the pteryges and other decorations

For all of the above, I just have educated guesses:

a) in theory, no. In practice, maybe yes because of the adjustement to the waist and the fixing of the belt(s).
b) since it's the pride of the legionary, yes.
c) no. If it's done right, I can make a padding directly to the armour. Something like a "light linothorax" beneath.
d) with attachment rings, like the greeks.
e) the armour is opened at both sizes and give room to adjust it, with lacing for example. It's not a tube.
f) directly to the armour. Maybe with some leather reinforcing.

What do you think?

Thanks Timothy Dawson for your participation, I hardly can wait to read your book !!
