Arrian, Ars Taktika
"ἀντὶ δὲ τῶν θωράκων Κιμμερικὰ χιτώνια, ἴσα καὶ ὅμοια τοῖς θώραξιν" (34.6.1.)
"instead of thorakae (they wear) Cimmerian chitonia, the same in appearance to the thorakae."
(Pinched from Arrian\'s \"Ektaxis kat\' Alanon\" transl issue thread)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what a Cimmerian tunic might have looked like?
