Description

The Roman military was one of the most powerful forces of the ancient world.

But what did its soldiers wear? This book presents an accurate and illuminating study of a popular yet understudied subject.

Spanning 1000 years from the Late Republic to the Byzantine Empire, including every item from helmet linings to leg wrappings, Graham Sumner presents an original and detailed interpretation of wide-ranging evidence, drawing on recent textile finds, ancient artwork and original literary sources from across the Roman Empire.

With the help of informative illustrations, we understand how the garments were worn and by which soldiers, both on and off the battlefield.

Materials used, methods of manufacture and dying, and the second-hand trade are also discussed.

Including stunning colour images and reconstructions, this book will be of great value to students and re-enactors of the Romans, as well as costume and fashion students.
