Is this combination of Segmentata/Chainmail armour historical?
#13
The problem with the idea of the bands around the wrists being gloves and not cuffs is that there is then no other indicator of a tunic being worn. For example in the Arlon relief above.

Unless that is you re-interpret the so called padding or pteryges underneath the mail to be a draped tunic instead?
