Hi Sébastien
Like Paul Elliot I like to see third century Impressions too, so great to look at another. As he suggests I too would say the sleeves of the tunic should be longer and should have tight fitting cuffs as in Jyrki's post above. The tunic could also have some of the simple decoration which begins to appear at that date such as bands on cuff sleeves and clavi which features arrow motifs.
Also all the sources from that period are very clear that tight fitting trousers should be worn. Without surviving paint on the tombstones one could argue that sometimes bare legs are indicated so there is no suggestion of baggy trousers.
If you need more details of third century clothing I would be pleased to help.
Best wishes.
Graham.
