Check(er)ed clothing in the Roman army, 1st C
#15
Quote:Hi
There are very few reliable images of soldiers in Roman art and I have never seen any in any check or plaid clothing either tunic or cloak.

Thanks for your reply. However, in one of your drawings (Pullo and Vorenus, Caesarian soldiers), you gave the centurion a paludamentum of plaid cloth. Is there any reason for this? (I know it is about a hundred years earlier than the period I want to know about, but still.)
