Hi Egfroth, thought I had killed this thread for a moment!
Unfortunately not. I have tried enlarging the image without success.
The capped sleeves are probably a confused rendering of the plate shoulder cops, and the lorica may be lamellar as the lines on the armour run vertically rather than horizontally like the coif. A pretty poor assumption to make but then......
I feel the garment worn under the lorica is definately a Kabbadion due to the fact that the soldiers are sitting with splayed legs. If they were Pteruges then surely we would see gaps between the individual elements :?:
