A Late Roman?

[M. CVRIVS ALEXANDER]

Here :lol:

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Looks like a very nice, but narrow belt! :?
Great impression!

[Robert Vermaat]

Nah, his sleeves are too wide, and his collar isn't right. :twisted:

Nevertheless, I wish I had access to someone who could make such tunics..

[Tarbicus]

I suspect it's traditional dress of a man from Khevsureti (there's a clue in the jpeg's name). You lot have got Romans on the brain a bit too much :wink:

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Quality work!
I have a boar hunting dagger from Georgia which has the most amazing embossing work!
Who says the ancient crafts have dissappeared.

Yes Jim, of course we do! :wink:

[M. Demetrius]

I think the shoes in the second pic are a little off, Jim, but there I go again, being judgmental. Very beautiful tunic!

[Sascha]

The neckline remembers me to the Bermuthsfeld tunica dated to seven/eight century AD.
The belt could be an eastern one.
Overall it is more early medieval ore traditional Russian suit.

:wink:

[Tarbicus]

Georgian.

No, not the powdered wigs and fake beauty spot type of Georgian. :wink:

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

The same Georgian as my dagger, not SE USA Georgian either....

C'mon John, of course we knew that. :wink: :wink:

However.. it looks like some of these guys are actually wearing mail!

[Nieczar]

it's "post-alan" clothing ....but 15th cen in Georgia isn't pure "post-alan" age ....and this tunik isn't clear by typology

however ,Georgia is really beautyfull land with very old history ...much older than russian history

I believe you overlook the fact that Russia includes many nationalities with a quite ancient known history - the descendants of the Scythians and Sarmatians, to name a couple.

[Cassius Tullius]

I think there are enough stylistic elements in common with either the Late Roman or Migration era. A re-enactor could do well using this example as the basis for an impression.
