I have seen several illustraions of soldiers wear hamatas that have, what looks like, a leather doubler. The most recent has been a picture from an up coming book in the recent Ancient Warfare magazine.
Is this a thin leather cover over the hamata doubler or a thick leather doubler for the hamata?
What evidence is there of this leather doubler?
How common was it for soldiers to have this?
