etc ...

But at the end would like to say something about the tradit. native clothes (Gallic&Germanic)of the la Tenne time and their patterns: they were usually non-chekered; monochrome or with the lines (but not allways checkered-designed like the tartan: that is myth that the native clothes were usually checkered). The "mixed" clothes of the galloromain time in Noricum&Pannonia of the womens are usually reconstructed monochrome - without checkered-patterns.
