Late Roman Clothes

[kurtedwr]

It's very difficult to find illustrations of clothing during the LATE Roman period... back when trousers and long sleeves were more common. Could y'all help me out?

Good material about Late Roman clothing is hard to get, there are few easy to purchase, cheap books about the subject. Most of the books are about Roman Military Clothing and not the civilian type which is harder to get.

 

These are a few stuff you might want to check out:

Thanks GPM!

 

I would put some pictures up in the Gallery but I might have to have the moderators look over them first to make sure that they aren't infringing any copy-right.

 

By the way, Pertinax has posted some excellent re-enactment photographs in the library that are worth looking up.

Yes i've seen them and yes they are excellent but the trouble with them is that there's too bloody many of them! By the time i've finished looking through P's gallery it's time for bed

 

Where does that man find the time :notworthy:
