Roman rectangular linen tunic. Entirely hand-sewn using locally-sourced linen thread in a double running-stitch and the seams are flat-felled in the Roman fashion and secured with an overcast stitch.
This tunic features a neck knot in the rear which is intended to take up the extra space in the neckline, which when let down, allows the top of the tunic to be dropped off one shoulder. This is seen in many examples of period Roman artwork and whether it was a specifically working fashion for civilians and Legionaries, or was worn concurrently alongside fitted necklines, we do not know. Examples in original art are as seen in Graham Sumner's publication, "Roman Military Dress".
