Show here your Roman soldier impression

[Crispvs]

I am afraid that the is no such thing as a tunic which is too big. Your body is probably just too small. :lol:

Seriously though, unbelted, your tunic should hang to around mid-calf length. Before you put any hard kit on, tie a waist tie of some sort reasonably tightly around your waist. Then hitch your tunic up over this until the lower edge of your tunic hangs a few inches above your knees at both front and back. Don't worry about it being huge and baggy around your torso - it is supposed to be like that - get used to it! If you get cold put on another tunic over the first one before you hitch them up. This is what the Romans would have done. For other bona fide ideas on how to keep warm as a Roman in cold weather, have a look at my article on cold weather kit by clicking on the link under my signature.
Don't forget that if you are going to kit yourself out as a Roman soldier, that kit should include your cold weather kit. In fact you should think of your cloak, extra tunic, lower leg coverings and socks as as much a part of your basic kit as your tunic and boots. If you have this kit you quickly find that your knees stop feeling cold without having to go all girly and wear your tunic below your knees. :wink:
