Graham,
It will be great to meet again at Tarragona (But keep in mind that our display will be located at Centcelles, near a small town called ConstantÃ, not far from Tarragona!)
Barbara,
The lack of symmetry on the clavi decorations is a good point. Notwithstanding, I've seen no more decoratins like that which could help it to be dated in the Third century... Can you help me? 8)
I chose that design in 2001 because it was geommetrical, formed a set and I had good detail pics to copy. Teh problem with many more or less complete tunics that I know is that they seem to be later than IV-Vth century... :?
I agree with Robert, we'd need some solid evidence for dating the textiles, rather better than stilistic (and somtimes, subjective) criteria
Aitor

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
