Armour Flexibility

[caiusbeerquitius]

I don´t know, but wouldn´t it make sense to have the subarmalis as long as the chain mail? I was asking for evidence, hence. For all we seem to know, subarmalis was worn under armour. So why should it not be under the whole armour? Especially in regard of the longer mail shirts, later 2nd c onwards. It all stays spculative, though, I was just wondering what you base your comment on. Reenactorisms are not really a good source. The only depictions we have in not-contemporary copies show rather long garments.
