This Visigothic Column Capital clearly shows stripes on the edge of his sleeves:

This one appears to show an Armilla as well (wrist bracelet torque thing)

According to the web page the pictures are from, the capitals stem from the late seventh century and therefore not from the fifth.

This tunic is known as Armilausa and is the only non roman tunic in the visigoth period in Spain. It had a break in the front (I can't see the edges in different colour Flavius, sorry Tongue ). The problem with this representations is the datation. These chapiters are from VI and VII century, and in this period visigoths copied the byzantine fashion. My interest is about V century.

This a representation of high middle ages clothing but from X century. The number 3 is the armilausa.
