Late Roman Dress of the Working Class and Rural Poor
#7
A military man might not have been quite as shabby even in later periods. I do, however, te to agree with you quite honestly. I so rarely see pictures of a common limitaneus in his everyday duty tunic. Im doubting anyone would have wasted an even marginally decently decorated tunic on regular duties esp. fatigue.

Still.....I like the look of it all, so you can have my Segmentae when you pry them out of my cold dead hands!!! (sorry bad pun) :lol:

Honestly though, for military, I will probably wear a simple long sleeved wool tunic for most of the time.
