Ancient Sartorialists: New Finds Point to Roman Fashion Craze - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

Ancient Sartorialists: New Finds Point to Roman Fashion Craze - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International
I wish this article had some references; I'm not sure about their interpretation of some of this stuff. The "news" is underwear with a gusset in it, which suggest more sophisticated tailoring than we thought Romans were capable of. (Not really ready to go with you on that one.) But it is good to know that bits and pieces of fabric continue to be found at Vindolanda. One more reason to go there!
