Quote:What are the references or art interpretations that can be interpreted that the pteruges were attached?
There are numerous examples of just cuirasses, standing or sitting on their own, being illustrated with pteruges. That strongly suggests that the pteruges are attached to some kind of fixed liner in the cuirass and not a separate undergarment.
Quote:@ Dunkan Head
The image shows ahoplite with bobcat or leoprd hide.
could this be aspollas?
That doesn't look like a patterned hide at all. It looks like a plain tunic with a patterned border and a white break or scratch above and below the spearhead. Is there something I'm missing?

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
