I have thoroughly enjoyed the thread! THere are pictures here that I have never seen before.
As for the Subarmalis and the Curiass with or without pteruges… I appreciate this last picture posted making it appear that the pteruges were a part of the Subarmalis in that sculpture.
As far as whether or not the Subarmalis was made of Linen or Leather… couldn't we possibly say "Both?" Are we considering climates and season changes?
Linen for warmer months or warmer climates and leather for colder areas? Or even a combination of the two different materials?
I know we are all sticklers for accuracy… but like a Biker… some ride their motorcycles wearing cotton t-shirts and shorts and some wear full leather. So… possibly both? One or the Other depending on climate? Or even a combination of the two?
