Finally:
Attached are photos from the Bode-Museum in Berlin showing a shepherd from ~270 AD with tunica manicata. Visible decoration: Maybe tablet-woven borders at the sleeves, similar to the Thorsberg Tunic. Also around his body a leather strap with buckle. On his back "something", thats most likely attached to the strap. Maybe his sagum/paenula rolled together or a backpack with food and more or a drinking-bag...
Backpacks/bags ( πηρα ) for sheepherders containing food and something to drink are also described in the cheesy teenager romance-novel "Daphnis and Chloe" (Book III, 3-4; late 2nd century or early 3rd).
