I understand it correctly that the picture in the first post shows real people? So I wonder how the woman on the left at first tied her strophium and if it really stays up when fighting. Because out of my own experience I had the strophium just wrapped around me like shown in that picture but it didn't stay up and I had to constantly adjust it. Quite a nuisance...
So I came up with the help of one of the guys of my group with a bit differenct way of strapping the thing around. That is I wrap it around two times, then move the long strap under from top to bottom to top again through the two-fold layers, throw it over the shoulder and tuck it under the two-fold layer in front from bottom to top and tie it. So it's kinda neck-holder strap just from the back to the front. Hard to explain, hope you understand a bit what I mean. Unfortunately I don't have a pic of that because on the photo in the "Gladiator Impression" section the strophium is covered by the pectorale.
