Yes Travis, but try to envisage a subarmalis composed of six superimposed layers of those triple-layered sandwiches! hock:
That's why I suggested to use only the front flet/textile layers for the subarmalis and sewn to the back of each pteruga the middle and back layer...
Your connexion of the multi-layered subarmalis with the Greek linen cuirass is attractive and would easily account for the multiple pterugae layers. The only problem to my mind is that the linothorax seems to be fairly rigid on the vase paintings and I don't know wheter it would work as a cushioned garment wornunder a rigid? cuirass. :?

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
