The tunica strictoria, a garment with tight, long sleeves
“Worn by men and women, this new tunic style marked an evolution from earlier Roman practice – and dress rhetoric – which saw the wearing of long sleeved tunics by men as effeminate.”

“The length of the strictoria was dependent on the gender of the wearer and their context”
