\'leather tunic\' yay or nay\'
#1
hi my fellow Romans

i am new to this site and roman reenacting' so i need a little help here.

can any one tell me if it is true that a 'leather tunic' was worn between the wool tunic and the lorica segmentata by high-ranking officers.

or is this just some thing that holly-wood and sum vendors try to sell to new-bees' :roll: who don't know any better.

any help with this would be great as i am just starting out and don't want to wast money on some thing that is not accurate to my kit. :evil:


thanks Big Grin

link from old RAT
