Making a (first century AD) tunic

[Nurglitch]

Embroidery stitching is very much used in Roman textiles. There is mention (and I forget where, so if someone can help with the ref - i'd be most appreciative) that Roman parade armour (particularly the subarmours) were heavily embroidered and tapestried and the most common stitches used on items such as coptic panels etc is couched (where the tread is laid flat and sewn down by another thread from the back) or chain stitch, tightly stitched into spirals to create the image. There are some in the Brooklyn museum which can be viewed on display there

I see, thank you So on battle uniform basic embroidery would be ok? E.g. - on a red tunic a white linen chain stitching along all the tunic's hems?
