Avete!
Also be careful of translations, especially older ones. "Scarlet" used to mean simply "bright", not necessarily "red". Always go back to the original Latin or Greek if possible, and drag in experts who can pick each word apart.
Looking forward to any new tidbits!
Valete,
Matthew
PS: The "Tunic Color Debate" is only notorious because of one person who insisted on being abusive in his posts. Since he's not around any more, the rest of us will have no problem discussing things pleasantly, to everyone's benefit.
