Vacheres warrior-paint found on belt, hilt, torc and brooch

Quote:Is he wearing gloves?

I haven't noticed this before in any of the pictorial or statuary evidence. Did the Romans wear gloves or just wrap their hands in rags as they show in the movies or shows like Rome?

What makes it looks like he's wearing gloves are the back-turned cuffs of his unusual long-sleeved tunic.
Ruben

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
