Explanation: Roman men in general, and Roman soldiers in particular, disdained trousers until around the mid-2nd century AD (they started wearing trousers a bit earlier in the colder regions of the Empire, but it wouldn’t catch on for a while). They considered it very unmanly and unRoman! So they wore tunics which, of course, could not be too long, or else they would restrict movement. As such, a legion of Roman soldiers would be showing a LOT of leg 🥵
Amusingly enough, this was acknowledged as potentially sexy by the Romans themselves - Mark Antony, one of Caesar’s top generals and a notorious ladies’ man, was condemned by his enemies for wearing SCANDALOUSLY short tunics to show off his sexy legs. What a tease he was!

Okay, that’s fine and all, but which waifu is showcasing their legs here?
Well, that’s Mark Antony, of course!
(I have no clue)
Now I have to look up whether Mark Antony actually exists in the Fate universe…
Rin Tosaka from the fate series
A toga for each leg? I dig it!
