Oh, well,<br>
There are plenty of depictions of Roman soldiers wearing mail and no one of them shows pterugae. Moreover, to wear pterugae your cuirass must be short and sleeveless. Maybe your hamata is short (perhaps a little too short for our date) but it has short sleeves!<br>
Pterugae must go ar least on two double lines (that means quadruple thickness on the upper row) Go to you National Museum and have a look at the ptegugae of the statuest from your Roman theatre!<br>
We're going to be at Centcelles in Tarraco Viva this year. Have your group made clear its position with the organizers?<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
