Quote:The illustration of the Magi isn't accurate, if indeed the Biblical tale is based upon anything beyond far-fetched legend.Well, since they're dressed like the Parthians on Septimius' arch, I figure the artist used contemporary Parthian clothing to indicate that the Magi were from roughly the same part of the world. That's assuming the clothes on Septimius' arch are accurate, but I can't think of why they shouldn't be.
So your feeling is, no cloaks in the 1st century?

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.
