Hello,
How much of an influence would the Gallic peoples of Gaul had over the occupying Romans during the Gallic War period? Was trade between the two cultures common? Would soldiers have traded or purchased Gallic items (such as shoes, and materials) when theirs wore out?
How would they have adjusted to the climate change?
I have heard that Caesar wore the long sleeved tunic (red) in the fashion of the Gauls, but what about braccae?
Some answers or insights would greatly help me.
