Mr. Sumner,
When you refer to cloaks in your new book, are you describing a sagum or paludamentum? They are both under the broad heading of cloaks.
Therefore, for a 1st C AD reconstruction, would it be plausible to have a blue paludamentum (from woad) or would it be more "correct" to have a red paludamentum. I saw in your book that blue cloaks were mentioned that is why I am asking which of the two is being referred to.
Is there any information available as to the type of weave: daimond, fish bone.....etc. for the 1st C AD
