9 Tunic
TUNIC, TUNICA (Latin)The tunic without the toga was worn by Roman soldiers, which accounts for the soldiers military coat being still called a tunic. Among the Saxons the tunic was an outer garment reaching to about the knees. Tunics of uneven length and beautifully ornamented were worn in Byzantium towards the end of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century. In modern times a tunic is a section of a garment similar to an overskirt and either fitted or gathered at the waist. -
