Were pteruges attached to a leather jerkin for Tribunes?
#3
<em>If i remember correctly, the pteruges were a part of the subarmalis which was worn underneath the armour.</em><br>

This is not known for certain but it is a reasonable assumption. There is a relief of what is assumed to be a arming doublet, with pteryges, in the Museo delle Terme in Rome (Fig.158 in Robinson's AOIR).<br>
