Making Pteruges (or at least trying to make Pteruges!)

[Magnus]

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO despite all the arguments/discussions, what i am trying to say is until proved otherwise by finds, nobody can be certain what pteruges were surely until proved positive, leather should not be ruled out.

Noooooo! lol

Listen, we DO have evidence for fabric for pteryges...not a lot for sure but, the evidence for leather pteryges is ZERO lol. What would you rather go by....a bit of evidence, or none at all? Cuz if you go by way of leather, you're really just making it up as you go, and while some things you can stretch and get away with (depending on what it is), this isn't one of them. As a reenactor, it's not our goal to invent things because we like the look of them...although, having said that I plan on making a greek style crest box for my centurion impression. Though I think I can make a case for roman's adopting greek styles. :wink:

Back to your point...the scant amount of evidence sucks, yeah, but it's the lesser of two evils.
