- Winter clothing of a Roman citizen of lower income, ca. mid 4th century CE.
How to make these clothes, which sources I use, where to get the materials and which craftsmen are recommended, can be found on my Patreon page, where by and by I upload cutting patterns, dimensions, step by step guides and other material on late antiquity: / projectquartodecimani

As a time wanderer....the soul always remains the same ......until the end of time.....regardless of fashion or technology ....!
As a reenactor and someone with some experience in experimental archaeology, it warms my heart to hear you talk about your little insights with the mystery flaps sewn inside the cloak.
Those little bits of insight we gain by actually wearing and using these things from the past add SO much .
I much enjoy videos like this because I feel like there's this image in the collective subconscious where Europeans were dressed like the Romans of 100AD one day then suddenly dressing up in early medieval Viking tunics the next, when in reality it was a slow continuum and for much of the days of the Roman Empire you could walk into a trading town in upper Germania or Gaul and see very little immediate visual difference from an 11th century English town, men are still wearing linen and wool tunics over hose, women wear wool smocks over a linen shift, the roads are dirt or cobblestone, and the buildings are timber frame filled with wattle and daub surrounded by stone walls built the same way as 500 years before and after... the only real obvious difference is the presence of Roman legionnaires
Not quite lol
That casula (or paenula) looks amazing. It was on the 2012 game Journey and I didn't know it was a real piece of clothing.
I can't THANK YOU ENOUGH!!
I want it to make a roman tunic for a play and this will help me immensly describe it to tailors and model its proportions after something!!!!
Thank you soooo much!
You are welcome! :)
5:00 perhaps the extra material adds to the warmth of the cloak. But also useful to cut a piece off if you ever needed to patch a hole or tear somewhere else 🤷♀️ Great channel.
Warm weather clothes are light and simple.
Cold gets the wheels turning …
Interesting insight into the tabs on the inside of the cloak. Thanks!
Superb! Great sources!
Great work. It's great to see how the underclass in the late empire is also being divulged. For that time would it be viable to use more than one "manicata" as a shelter from the cold? Another question, what kind of footwear would be most appropriate? Here in Spain, thanks to the climate we have, we recreate with esparto grass shoes to represent the lower classes.
Thank you! I think several manicatae for winter are an option. If the person can afford them. In terms of footwear, we have mosaics as well as archaeological findings, that indicate that the campagus type was spread throughout society. It works also in winter depending on preparation. :)
Maybe those folds had something to do with making it easier to hang the garment after wearing, so it doesn’t just slide off something and fall to the floor or into the fire if they were hung near a fire to help dry it quicker.
kind of like the street wear of the good old days
I would love to hear about how it was to walk in medieval shoes in the snow? Was it cold? Are they able to keep dry?
Super interesting video. 😄
You can find some of it here, where I talk about it. :) ruclips.net/video/e2dlPr1LBbM/видео.html
Very cool video. Thank you. Is it possible that those flaps had a pin attached to the clothing to keep it in place?
Ancient unboxing)))))
I laughed a bit thinking that in my reenactment point of view, you are a Lower Class Civilian Male coming from the future (almost 5 centuries) 😅
But seriously: I find amazing what you, as group, do and even more amazing that you found a little space to talk about this small slice of civilian life. All what I hear and see when the topic is Ancient Rome is "Army, army and army" 🙄
No one ever cares about civilian part of that era... sigh.
Vale optime, amice!
Who made your leather wrap? Also, is the suspension you have the interpretation of the original, or is it your own? I would consider a net bag to suspend it if the latter.
The Comacchio wrap was made by Jurjien Draaisma actually. The suspension is an improvised solution on the spot. A net would indeed be a very viable solution!
To make a religious gesture under a cloak
We can't explain it so we will attribute it to religious functions. This is one of my pet peeves of archaeology.
I regret that tunics are not common now to wear lol
