Robert,
Thank you, I'll try to drop a pm to you reqesting those pics. I too have seen others besides centurions with pteurges in pictures, but it doesn't seem to be a common occurence. Personally I think they look good with any armor, but I wasn't completely sure about the authenticity with other than centuriones as those are the only ones of the "lower" ranks that I have seen on reliefs, steles, etc with them. Though I admit that both my knowledge and the number of them I have seen is very limited. I do like the idea of wearing linen underneath the leather as it provides a layer between the sweaty body and the leather, and I have seen first-hand what sweat can do to leather over time.
Bill,
I have actually been looking repeatedly at the ones that La Wren's Nest has on their site. It is probably lthe direction I will go if I decide not to make one myself. I also spent several hours last night (when I should have been sleeping) checking out all the other clips on youtube as well, hehe. Finally stopped after watching some clips from I, Claudius. I so need to get myself a copy of that whole series.
