need some guidance
#6
Quote:Bracae and Feminalia were not worn by Roman legionairies, expect when they started to need those because of the cold climate of the new empire. So, you, during your period these could be used, when you do an impression of a rhine frontier soldier, for instance. But still only when it is cold.
Would that not have been a fashion thing? I mean, it can snow in Italy too, for sure? Leggings would have been the thing for the earlier legionaries, but Gallic (and Germanic) trousers would have become fashionable later on, while temperatures on Hadrian's Wall remained the same in wintertime...
