Thanks for all the info, this has been really interesting so far.
The feature I wanted to emphasise was not the sleeves but the narrow crossover with what looks like a small single lapel in the top corner. Here are some interesting pictures:
A 5th Century vase from Marv
2nd - 3rd Century, Dokhtar-e-Nowshirvan
8th Century, from Khorasan or the Caucasus
I forget the exact date on this one but it is from Kyzyl, I think it is 7th Century.
And yes, I did mean 9th Century for Moschevaya Balka, not 8th, oops!
Is there anything Roman about the coat (its features), other than where it was found?
Yes, I agree that the Romans were wearing them, but I don't think that is enough to qualify it as a Roman coat ...
