Tribunus Analretentivus,
"Listen up, soldiers! It's perfectly acceptable to have scalloped edges at hamate sleeve ends.
However, if you wear scalloped edges along the lower edges of hamate, you will be severly punished... and reassigned to a unit in Pannonia! Understand?"
Soldiers in F-Troop,
"Yes, sir! I understand perfectly."
"I was thinking about scalloped edges, but I changed my mind."
"I knew an auxiliary who had a cousin in Legio Victorix, who knew a primus pilus in Legio III who trimmed his hamata in scallops. He was sent to Durustorum... and never returned.
