Quote:Quote:You cannot prove without a doubt that linen was used for pteruges, and in fact you can't even come close to doing so. What you are presenting is still pure speculation.Actually, there are paintings in a Roman context where pteryges are white. Posted recently, one by me, but I'm not trawling through RAT to find it :wink:
Yes, but how do you know they are linen? Couldn't they be bleached leather? :lol:

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
