The edging on some depictions, such as the Vacheres warrior, is IMO an indication of an integrated liner.But the hamata is a one-size-fits-all armour (well, more or less). Adding an integrated liner instead of a seperate one would counter that, right? I'd say wearing it over a subarmalis would be more practical.
