Graham,
I know I have shown you my late Roman tunic before, but would you care to comment on it in the light of the present discussion?
This picture has been posted up before but I do so again here. The photo was taken by Arthes during one of the RMRS 'Roman army through the ages' displays and it is with her permission that I use it on RAT.
Below is my tunic laid out flat. I took the dimensions from two tunics auctioned at Christies about seven years ago. One tunic was complete in the body but had lost its sleeves, although a small amount was left of each one. I modelled most of my tunic on this tunic. The other tunic I used had apparently been ripped or cut in half down the middle and so was just one half of a tunic with one complete sleeve still attached. The sleeves on both tunics would have been very tight fitting, as are mine. Please forgive the unfinished decoration when the photograph was taken.
