Romano-British for Dux Britanniarum
Numeri Group Two
This is the second Group of Numeri I’ve completed. When I come to the third Group I want to try and put more decorative elements on their clothing. Clothing worn in the the Roman empire of the Late Imperial period was very different to that worn in earlier centuries, looking more like the type of clothing we tend to associate with the early Medieval period. Tunics often featured official badges of office and patterned fringes and detailing. I’m sure not everybody wore such clothing, but I don’t see why some officials and bureaucrats shouldn’t be drafted into the Numeri, so will try and feature them in a way that doesn’t make them look at odds with their fellows.
For those wondering, the little caps that some of them are wearing are known as “Pannonian caps” and were adopted around the Fourth Century, when officers from the Danubian provinces began to occupy positions of influence in the Imperial army.
