Tarbicus,
I know that we should not really take tombstones too seriously.
The point of musulata is if you look at tombstones or other statues like Marcus Aurelius where the tunic is quite tailored.
Are you implying that the tunic could be gathered up under the armor in such a way that it renders the sleeves more tidy?
Sertorius does not have short sleeves. I spoke to the curator at the museum in Verona. They appear to be sleeves but are not. The scale armor is such that the top portion passes over the shoulder and borders the tricept muscle sort of like a bishops mantle. However, instead of being detachable like a mantle, it is integrated with the rest of the body.
The pteryges system that my friend had me post is something like 7kg; not light.
Thanks
Paolo
