SNAPPY SOLDIER TUNIC PLEAT

[Tarbicus]

No need to hunt for the image you should already have two in RMC1. One is a drawing from the original source the other a reconstruction.

Just had a look, thanks, and there are also the Fayum portraits in 'Ancient Faces, Mummy Portraits from Roman Egypt', (Walker and Bierbrier). It would definitely help with the folds on the right side, as you say in your book.

Have you checked this against the measurements from papyrus BGU 1564 and other tunics such as those from Nahal Hever to see how your reconstruction compares.

Blimey According to the sizes I can find for BGU 1564 papyrus it's a bit too small if anything! I've not seen the Nahal Hever tunics, but going by the description I found in an old RAT post it's interesting that the wool fabric looks more like linen, which luckily is very much like the wool I used.

Many thanks.
