No, I am a ''novvs homo'' here. I did look up tunic colour, quite the Gordian knot, in fact, -- especially as there seems to be some form of regrettable disagreement between two reenactment groups, which may, if you will forgive the execrable excuse for a joke, colour opinion. ''Arma cedant togae, concedat lavrea lavdis'', if only as then you can all wear white with the appropriate clavi or lack of them! In case I am taken seriously, this is a joke! It is a joy to see the legionaries, auxiliaries, hoplites and other soldiers of the greatest of all times represented -- keep up the good work.
I think a thread on the history of Roman mannequins would be most interesting.
