Trappings of Roman military clothing
#1
Dear all
Regards

My name is Alaa' Barraneia, I'm an Egyptian Archaeology student, and I need some help with my master degree research which is entitled " The decorations and trappings of Roman military clothing in the age of Roman empire 1st century BC: 7th century A.D"
I have already red the books of Mr Graham Sumner "Roman military dress", and "Roman military clothing 1.2.3". Which I found pretty useful for the research.
I need a list of titles for books regarding my research. References, tomes, guides, anything regarding my research, and I'll try to find it in the libraries, or online.
I would be so grateful if you could help me.

Thank you in advance.
Best regards
Alaa' Barraneia

Maybe the one about household textiles, dunno the name (good for seeing the difference b/w dress and hangings Big Grin )

Also, anything you can download from Met Museum, V&A, Philly, Kunsthistorisches, also their catalogues.

You should also look up the actual archaeological finds, there have been tons of Tunics found in Egypt and many have papers written for them.
