Hello people,
I see many posts on legs coverings for the winter for 1st century legionary re-enactment but...
...... now for something somewhat different: how about the lower ARM coverings for this period? I once saw a sketch from one re-eenactment group (I cannot remember which one) in which they argued for loose sleeves put on at the end of the normal length short sleeves of the woollen tunica.
Does anybody know about archaeological, written contemporary or artistic sources for this? Or may I assume that this was a thought which was incompletely sourced by the individual who may have invented this item?
