Quote:The pteruges pronounced ter-OO-gas, are leather ‘strips’ attached at the shoulder and waist of the under armour padding called a subarmalis in latin.We have no actual evidence they were leather, and there's as much, if not more, pictorial and sculptural evidence that they were linen, felt or wool. Layered linen or felt would also have armour properties, unlike leather.
