I'm sorry. I just wanted to point out how amazing I think this topic is to have started with a discussion of attractive people, moved on to Roman underwear, and has now transitioned into a chat about signal flags!<br>

Amazing? Or a typical discussion conducted by a vast majority of males? -- <br>

I wonder if there was a high occurance of wagon accidents on the roads to Rome of women talking on cell phones, putting make-up on and driving? <p><br>

There were a lot of such accidents, but after the Romans standardized the width of all chariots and wagons to the same gauge, that minimized the problem. <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX<br>

The big troubles came when the slaves were allowed to have an own cell-phone (thanks to the low prices too) to talk to their relatives in their countries: the cell- phones makers lobbies thought to get the century deal, but a flood of calls and sms suddenly jammed the system of communications (the Cursus Publicus were not more enough...) so the Empire risked a premature fall...<br>

Love your drawing Satsobek.<br>

Red? White? How about a tartan tunic? Has some nice alliteration--tartan tunic. Then you could have both red and white. Besides, it's not the colour of the tunic, but what's underneath that counts--and you can drag your minds out of the gutter right now! I'm talking about the whole...ah...forget it...<br>

Forget the Romans! Let's all go to Scotland!<br>
And I applaud your use of alliteration. If we've got tartan tunics, does that mean we can have tartan togas as well? <p>-Christy

You can have tarts in Togas if they wear yellow togas.....<br>
<br>
<br>
Remember some Romans wore a striped toga, and various priests wore multi-coloured cloaks and toga.<br>

Forget the tunics!<br>
There is nothing like a nice pair of figure hugging leather femenalia to complement the effect of all that manly armor!<br>
