Quote:wondering if these kind of tunics were also used in the late second century?
It seems a lot of people use longer sleeves than this suggests?
Also it looks as tho Sumners depictions all have full length sleeves?
This is where I get confused. :?
I'm afraid I don't know of the C2nd - early sleeves are short and I think they were long by the mid 3rd but I don't know when they changed.
The pictures are deceptive, because the bodies are wide: Graham Sumner gives some typical dimensions including some around a metre across. Mine is knee length unbelted and just reaches my wrists at the full width of the cloth: 60 inches.
