Christian robe

And we decided to have a little fun in our free time. A Christian priestly robe from the same period was reconstructed. It was then not much different from ordinary civilian clothing and consisted of an undertunic (tunica linea, made of linen), outer tunic (tunica, usually made of wool) and a lacerne cloak (lacerna). The top two items of clothing were almost always whitened. There were no embroideries, patterns and all sorts of similar things then - they came much later.
