Pteruges

The pteruges, decorative skirts of leather or fabric strips weared under armour

Directly or less tied up to subarmalis, these mobile nastriformis ornaments with fringes applied in the ends, are seen to emerge in the shoulders and in the zone of the groin and they are often found in the statues of Roman soldiers that wear a lorica hamata or squamata, very rarely under the lorica segmentata (available in the Italian Section). This page instead contains the changes and the innovations (towards the original) that will be introduced from time to time.
