Hello Yuv
Most public re-enactments take place during the summer months and in daylight as indeed did ancient campaigns. However some hardy re-enactors do venture out into the cold as can be seen in the Roman Impression thread. For Movie versions see both 'The Fall of the Roman Empire' and 'Gladiator' both set in Northern wars were soldiers wear cloaks and extra long sleeved tunics.
If you are interested in all types of Roman military dress, including winter wear then you might find my own book ROMAN MILITARY DRESS of some use.
