I like your technique of fading the background and foreground in your Bible illustrations to create depth Graham. It is very effective.
Those Roman skirts look a bit chilly in the photos. Am I correct in saying they wore a form of breeches to cover their legs in winter months?
Yes indeed.
The breeches came to just below the knee, and were black or dark blue in color apparently. There seems to be some debate about the tunic color. Some say they were off white as in the photos, some say red.
