I posted my thoughts on this very question here on this thread and tried to back up my reasoning based on the
surviving artistic evidence : <!-- l <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=27160">viewtopic.php?f=55&t=27160<!-- l
But the question presupposes there was only one material used so it may not have been either /or. I think pteruges could
have been composed of both materials. Officers may have used fabric far more often than regular soldiers which is suggestive
in the artwork, IMO.

Quote:they have that criss-cross kind of texture carved in. I thought that was cool. I plan to do that for a Judean Auxiliary kit/costume for a Nativity production I'm working on at my work. (I love my job)I'd like to see the results :!:
