Roman Subarmalis

[M. Demetrius]

After looking for a long time at the sculpture link posted way back there by Crispvs, namely,

I think the simplest explanation IS that it represents a vertically quilted, short sleeved subarmalis. The sculptures that are regarded as "correct", such as the Augustus Prima Porta, do not show sewn-together arm pterugys. Rather than invent another "neck armor undergarment", it would be easier to believe what we already suspect. Could I prove it? No. Do I believe that's the most likely? Yes, probably. When I make my subarmalis, it will be vertically quilted and short sleeved.
