Chuck, you must have attached wrong pics here, they clearly show Rasputin after some vodka :wink: !
Seriously, I think too that the late roman hat would have been a bit deeper than in the surviving sculptures/ coins. Maybe the ruling class did wear a more fashionable shallower model but the troops must have used a deeper and more practical / warm one...

Well.. both do, actually.
It's a bit too high for my liking, but that's just a fashion statement. :wink: It looks good.

close-fitting, brimless hat worn by the ancient Romans and copied from the Greek sailor's hat called the pilos. In Roman times the head was generally left uncovered, but commoners and freed slaves sometimes wore the felt pileus.
The hat was again popular during the Renaissance, especially in Italy, when it was square or rounded and made of black or red velvet or felt.

Robert or Chuck,
In your research have you been able to determine what type of lining these hats had, if any? And are there any known surviving examples anywhere, such like the felt hats shown in Graham Sumners (sp) book on Roman clothing?
Thanks in advance!

Sumner. :wink:
And from recollection I'd say there were no surviving examples, no.

Looks good to me, a bit high for my taste, but good.

Thanks Robert, for a surviving example see 'Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier', by D'Amato and Sumner, forthcoming.
