We can see from sculpture that Roman centurions wore cloaks as an indication of rank. Could they have worn these in battle? It seems they would have been somewhat of a hindrance.
Another idea struck me also. In the winter months, would the legionaries (and auxiliaries, ofcourse) have fought (if they were fighting in the winter) with their winter-cloaks on? Would the cloaks have actually been that much of a hindrance?
