WHAT DOES EXOMIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

exomis

Exomis

The exomis was a Greek tunic used by workers and light infantry. The tunic largely replaced the older chitoniskos as the main tunic of the hoplites during the later 5th century BC. It was made of two rectangles of linen, which were stitched together from the sides to form a cylinder, leaving enough space at the top for the arms. An opening at the top was also left for the head. The cylinder was gathered up at the waist with a cloth belt using a reef knot, which made the cloth fall down over the belt, hiding it from view. To allow freedom of movement to the right arm, the seam at the right shoulder was taken apart, and the right hand was passed through the head opening. The color of the tunic varied, but red was increasingly the standard color preferred by hoplites during and after the Peloponnesian War. The exomis could be worn in conjunction with the chlamys cape.
