Winter Clothing in 1st century AD legionary re-enactment
#78
It may be that it's a wrong interpretation of the word "feminalia". Because of its similarity in English to "feminine", some make that connection. "Feminalia" refers to the femur bone, though, so it's not really gender specific. More likely, the Romans would not have thought it "feminine", but "barbarian", which would be far worse in their minds.
