Quote:A discussion on another thread raised the question of Roman infantry, and cavalry, tunic colours.?
The tombstone of Silius, which was found to be painted when discovered (reconstructed here), suggested a green tunic for at least one cavalryman. However, since the artist appears to have had a palette of only five colours, I'm not sure how much reliance I'd place in it.
