A question for thos who know their late Roman textiles better than I do: I goit my hands on some old furniture cloth. Do any of these look at all useable, or would the tunic be laughed out of camp? I know the Copts often hads flowers and other cutesy stuff, but the eagle just looks yellow-ribbony to me.

Carlton, the fifth from top looks good enough. You can cut it following the 'starry' outline and use two of them as shoulder orbiculi (If they have the appropiate size). Good find!

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
