Cloaks

The most common paludamentum was a hip-length, semi-circular cloak, worn pinned at the right shoulder. The second style of paludamentum, a trapeziod-shaped cloak, also pinned at the right shoulder.  Both of these styles are likely to be ornamented on the straight edge with tablions, square or diamond shaped .  The third cloak is called the paenula, a circle with only a neck opening, sometimes hooded.  The paenula are usually ornamented with clavi, and are hip to ankle length.
