Hi<br>
<br>
Sumner has only just arrived here in Australia and so I pick it up today and will devour it tonight with my RAT providentia ( I am examining the phrase in Roman emperor ideology at the moment and find myself using it everywhere)<br>
<br>
Just an idea re: baggy tunics - possibly to facilitate hiding things in the folds of clothing which you always read about but which to the modern dresser seems a very unusual way to hide things (no trousers to tuck things into )With all those folds you could probably secure things without too much trouble and without too much discomfort.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

just brought the book today, very interesting indeed, the artwork is excellent as usual and i like his writing style, particularly like the image of the soldier being punished, as it shows a tunic with out all the belts and armour on top, the book should be laminated though to prevent damage from drooling <p></p><i></i>
