Ptergis and Segmentata at the Turn of the Millenia AD

[kevair464]

I think i was confusing in my use of the term junior officer, probibly should have used NCO, since I was referring to an optio impression, and it is fairly common to see Optio's in segmentata. That said, the segmentata find at Kalkriese was very ornate, with alot of extra detail such as brass piping around the edges, a more refined turned up neck guard, unlike the later more mass produced looking coorbridge seggies, so the owner would have had to put out some extra money for the armor. But really thats not the argument, the dual belt situation seems pretty resolved, but having the ptergis under a seggy still seems to be up for discussion
