A tunic (Latin: tunica) is a simple type of garment made with or without sleeves. They vary from knee-length or longer and fit loosely on the body, often tied at the waist by a belt.[1]
History
Isu Era
Believed to have been first created in Ancient Greece and Rome,[1] tunics have been shown to be worn by some Isu. In Aletheia's simulation of Atlantis, the misthios Kassandra encountered several Isu wearing variations of tunics, such as Aita, Hermes Trismegistus, and Ampheres.[2]
In Eivor Varinsdottir's dreams of her past life as the Isu Odin, she saw him regularly meet several people wearing tunics, though this was likely affected by Eivor's own cultural upbringing of Norse mythology having an effect on her dreams.[3]
Ancient Egypt
In Ancient Egypt, long linen tunics were worn by wealthy men during the time, unlike poorer people who only wore loincloths.[4]
Viking Age
A tunic was a common article of clothing during the Viking Age, worn by Saxons and Vikings alike. They varied in detail and style, with the Scandinavians using more dyes than the Anglo-Saxons for brighter and more colorful clothing.[5] Tunics were worn as everyday clothing and into battle, often over a set of chainmail by those wealthy enough to own it. For those not as wealthy such as thralls, their tunics were made from a low-class material and had no signs of sewn edges, giving them a shabby appearance.[6]
