Finished Roman (almost)

Here's the completed Roman. Both the orange tunica and the linen tunica recta underneath are completely hand-sewn. I still need to hem the palla (which is wool gauze from Dharma Trading, and it's to die for!), and I may re-hem the tunica. She's a little bit long. Which is annoying because this is the second time I've hemmed it. But, third time is the charm, right? Anyway, it's 95% done, and I'm pleased as could be with it. I'll wear it to 12th Night in January. 

I was shooting for 4th century CE, but because I omitted clavii, I've probably landed solidly 2nd. I'm not mad about that, it just makes the necklace a little anachronistic.
