@ Graham: I did not know Roman Military Dress was even out. I got it withing three days. (Having a wife who manages a book store has it's advatages). After looking at both the plates showing the Marcus Aurelius relief and the sarcophagus, I had a Homer Simpson moment, given my above post.
Can you comment on the Estepa, Seville relief? I am shortly about to have a copy of what I think is a reasonable interpretation. I would like to know if I can think what I think I think. Thats is, wool blanket or wool felt between an outer and inner layer of heavy rough canvas. The stitching lines are going to curve to the vertical and join in a V shape at the sides. The arm openings will have no sleeves.
