Funerary sculpture from Italy, various, 3rd -1st cent BC, interesting mostly for clothing
A 1st century face mask from Italy
A 1st century pugio from Pannonia

Hi Volker,
Yes, I'd be glad to see that Coptic tunic and the Thorsberg replica textiles too...
Thanks in advance,
Aitor

Course we could add a new gallery in Resources with 'textiles'... :wink:
Please, please ... - Crispvs - 08-09-2005

Re: More pictures - aitor iriarte - 08-09-2005
Many thanks for the pics, Volker!
At first sight, I'd say that the 'Coptic' tunic is fairly late, already into the Muslim period, 7th or 8th AD, at least...
The horizontal pleat is a reapeating feature, very useful to shorten a garment woven in one piece without cutting the valuable and useful borders. Notwithstanding, that feature conceals sometimes a tunic woven in three pieces using a narrower warp-weighted loom and, therefore, cheaper. Needless to say that this part of the tunic would go hidden by a belt...

hi
I took last month hundreds of pictures in several museums with roman sections. Like : roman legionary museum in caerlon, british museum in london, museum of london, museum of art in bristol etc.
I would like to share with you, but how can I do this ?

Send me an email (adminATromanarmy.com) and we can put them online on Romanarmy.com if you want.
