#mesoleucon sarapis

[mydonkeyfeet]

This is really cool, but what is up with this line?

a tunic is a fitted jacket similar to that worn by Captain Picard of "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

Another article called it a chiton, which is like a giant rectangle (not a jacket), but I don't remember Captain Picard ever wearing anything like that, and he hardly ever wore a jacket either. It's also called a sarapis in the original archaeologists' publication.

Anyway, the garment is tyrian purple and white. I haven't found an image of it yet. I love ancient textiles and dyes.

(Apparently attributing the garment to Alexander is being questioned by other archaeologists, but I'm just excited about an ancient garment.)
