A discussion on another thread raised the question of Roman infantry, and cavalry, tunic colours.
Was there a standard colour i.e. the red tunic so beloved of reenactment groups and film makers, what literary and archeological evidence is there?
Did the tunic colours change from the Republican armies to the end of the Late Roman period?
