Roman Military Clothing (2)

The second part of a rigorous study on the items worn by officers and men all over the empire over two centuries.

While much has been published on Roman arms and armour, the actual clothing of Imperial soldiers has largely been overlooked to date.

In this second part of a rigorous study of the literary, sculptural, pictorial and archaeological evidence, specialist author-artist Graham Sumner examines the clues which enable us to attempt reconstructions of items worn by officers and men all over the empire during the two centuries between the reign of Septimius Severus and the twilight years of Stilicho.
