Explanation: Roman men in general, and Roman soldiers in particular, disdained trousers until around the mid-2nd century AD (they started wearing trousers a bit earlier in the colder regions of the Empire, but it wouldn’t catch on for a while). They considered it very unmanly and unRoman! So they wore tunics which, of course, could not be too long, or else they would restrict movement. As such, a legion of Roman soldiers would be showing a LOT of leg 🥵
Amusingly enough, this was acknowledged as potentially sexy by the Romans themselves - Mark Antony, one of Caesar’s top generals and a notorious ladies’ man, was condemned by his enemies for wearing SCANDALOUSLY short tunics to show off his sexy legs. What a tease he was!
Okay, that’s fine and all, but which waifu is showcasing their legs here?
Well, that’s Mark Antony, of course!
(I have no clue)
Now I have to look up whether Mark Antony actually exists in the Fate universe…
Rin Tosaka from the fate series
potentially sexy
That why the Romans won so many wars, their enemies were clearly distracted :3
But then how do you explain the Roman victory over the naked Gaesatae in the Battle of Telamon?
Nudity is barbaric; you have to tactically show your goods. Tease them, or it’s just clinical, tbh.
They are lucky jeans weren’t invented, it’s so bad having to wear them living in a hot place.
