There are several depictions of scale armor where the bottom is a straight edge or a scalloped edge consisting of either one row
or two rows of scallops (The Sertorii stelas). On the Adamclissi Metopes, the edges of squamata are also straight. On the Ludovisi
sarcophagus, the scale shirt ends in the same shape as a musculata followed by typical scallops added on the lower edges of musculata.
Is there evidence of other lower edges instead of the typical ones descirbed above? For example, a Van Dyke edge (Edges that end
in triangles).
I was looling for evidence in the 1st and 2nd C AD.
