PALUDAMENTUM

A paludamentum was the uniform worn by Roman generals and their staff. It was less cumbersome than a toga, and more ample and graceful than the sagum or cloak worn by the common soldiers. It was coloured purple, scarlet or white, open in front, reaching down to the knees, and fastened on the shoulder by a brooch.
