Hi Sampsa,
Without trying to be ellusive (which I should rather be in view that the deadline for two reviews I promised long ago and a re-enactment festival are nearing...
) I would say you that this thread is nearly an excellent primer on 'My first late tunic'! 8)
About your pattern, the decoration looks to my mind as not earlier than late third century, and I would even dare to say the those clavi finials should be even later...
The cuff bands never span the whole width. Remember that part of the material there was simply tucked inside when the rectangular sleeves were sewn in a tapering form to create those narrow cuffs.

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.
