Byzantine Clothing:

Men's clothing during this time did not change very much. The clothing consisted of, "tunica's, cloaks, the dalmatic and shoes or boots". The tunica was the basic article of clothing during the Byzantine era. The tunica was trim in the sleeves and loose around the body. The shapes of the garments stayed the same and the only distinguishing feature was the trimmings and the quality of the fabric. This image shows the tunica, from 400 to 1000 AD.
