Thanks, Tarb. The point is that Caesar actually lists the various fabrics -- I've no idea why translators are reticient about listing them. :?

"omnes fere milites aut ex coactis aut ex centonibus aut ex coriis tunicas aut tegimenta fecerant"

I suppose these measures must've been effective, otherwise Caesar would've scoffed at their attempts. Any comments?
