Full Circle Panuela ?

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

"If you want to have more material because of your segmentata or so, you would need the material further up, mostly in the area of your chest and shoulders, lots of material at the height of your knees or ankles wouldn't help. If anything you would have to make the circle even bigger, for the paenula to still come down as far as before, because having a "roomier" shoulder area would result in the lower edge being drawn up. "

Thanks for agreeing with me on the pont that the lower edge would be even higher off the ground with segmentata on. That is what I said, and what I thought you were saying is that you did not like the idea of all that cloth down by your ankles? :?

This is surely the problem solved I would have thought, unless I totaly missunderstand your point?
