Need Paenula Advice

[LUCIUS ALFENUS AVITIANUS]

My paenula is semicircular, with a hood added. When you put it , the semicircular shape gives the same lenght at the rear and at the front.

You can put it with the sides folded in a particular way, that makes yours arms free of movement and enable to use your side weapons.

You can see some details at: Graham Summer: Roman Military Clothing (1). Ed. Osprey Publishing, Men at Arms Nº. 374.
