Trousers
#5
My impression (and I could be wrong) is that War and Worship focuses on the second half of the Roman Iron Age from 200 to 500 CE after a second major shift in material culture (there was an earlier shift when the Romans arrived on the Rhine and the Danube and started sending armies and traders across). Does it have anything on earlier trousers?

The Gundestrup cauldron shows short, close-fitting tunics with long sleeves and short trousers.

If I had time and resources to borrow 20 or so books and articles I could probably work something out but this is too far from my main projects to put in that kind of work. Maybe when I have read the books which I currently have on interlibrary loan.
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
