Quote:The guy with the whip is wearing a (very) short 4thC style tunic, with long sleeves, double banded cuffs and short shoulder clavii.

It looks almost as if the hem of the tunic is gathered up and tied between his legs, or at the back somehow. Maybe to keep his legs bare, for some reason?

Quote:the figure furthest to the left appears to be wearing a Coif of some description! Very interesting indeed, never seen anyhing like that.

Hmm, it does look like that. I may need to revise my belief that Romans never really wore coifs... Confusedhock:
