Vexillum material...cotton?
#4
Quote:Was the linen found to have been dyed? And (yikes, he's going to ask) what color was it?

Yes, it was red. The design (victoria standing on a globe) was painted onto it, not embroidered. I don't have a digital picture... I know there is a picture in Feugère's Weapons of the Romans, though.

Vale,
