Roman Subarmalis

[Titvs Statilivs Castvs]

Whatever the ND says, that doesn't mean that pteryges were made of leather. Also, we should consider the period we're talking about. I'm afraid I assumed that it was about the 1st century, and you probably assumed it was about the Late army. We could keep discussing that way. :? illy:

But I do not have the impression that they would get tangled or bunched up. There are several members in our reenactmentgroup having pteryges, and I haven't seen them having that kind of problems with them. Of course I think that the condition for that is that they are firmly and properly attached to the subarmalis itself, and may be slightly to each other (the upper few inches).
