Comment on upper arm movement.
A lot of the statuary has split sleeves on top. Particularly in the Julio-Claudian period. You can see them on the Primaporta augustus.
Likewise a lot of the statuary has gathered seams, menaing that there is a lot more fabric there to allow movement.
Currently I'm working on my 6th C. kit, but when I get around to my 1st C. kit, I'm going to try to put both on my tunic.
