Aitor,
Well, I should've said "Roman Spain" or "Iberian Peninsula" anyway since modern Spain doesn't include Portugal.
Sure. The statue's pteruges totally obscure the wearer's tunic despite the fact that they are in motion (as opposed to a statue where the soldier is at rest in which case his pteruges would hang straight down).
My tunic can be seen through some gaps between my pteruges despite having 2 overlapping rows in staggered position attached to my subarmalis.
Realistically, I'm not sure that Roman pteruges would have provided as much coverage as the statue would have us believe. But maybe I still don't have enough pteruges to prevent gaps from appearing and revealing my tunic.

No offence and less nothing related to Spain (It was that I had just remembered that I had forgotten to quote where the statue fragment is :oops: and, moreover, I don't feel very Spanish 8) )
