Hi all. Sorry to throw out a stupid question but I gotta confer with the collective on this one.
I live in Florida , USA and temparatures are regularly in the 100s Farenheit here in the summer, with 70+ common for most of the year.
I have been to some events lately and most of my clothing is linen. Those linen pants are still freaking hot !!
Was it common for off duty soldiers to wear their tunics with just sandals in hotter climes in this era ?
I don't want to look too off base. I have seen some mosaics , hunting I think that IIRC, had soldiers hunting with tunics, leg wraps and boots, but cant find the sources.
