Hello Harris
That depends on what you have 'seen'! If you have seen a Roman monument showing the Sagum cloak pinned in the middle then that is OK. However if you have 'seen' modern reconstructions pinned that way, then I would say that is probably not right. Always go to the original source first.

Quote:My dilemma is this: I've seen cloaks labeled as sagum pinned in the middle, and the aforementioned book mostly depicts sagums pinned at the shoulder or at least off center. Any one answer, or am I right in assuming that either goes?
