Here is my suggestion of wearing the cummerbund, with pleats and a paenula, after several steles.
It has occurred to me studying some of the steles and other sculpture with pleats in them that some of the effect was achieved in the laundering process. I wonder, has anyone thought of how Roman soldiers had their clothes laundered? A modern army cannot function without a good laundry. Would the Romans have been that much different?
