They wore more clothing including some type of trousers in their northern provinces. Germania, Gaul, Pannonia, Dacia, Britain, etc...got cold as fuck in the falls and winters.

Was that something introduced to the roman legions by contact with pant wearing barbarians?

Why? If you shoot would it not blow out the flame?
Ian Bennett
It's joking about people putting tacticool shit like scopes and torches on everything.
Levi Morgan
Either Iranic or Celtic peoples probably caused this, both were noted to be the earliest groups to adopt the usage of trousers. Scythians and their descendants would often run into Greeks nd Romans.
Owen Russell
This is the good shit
Joshua Phillips
It wasn't until I think the third or fourth century that pants were commonly worn by the Legions because it was considered unfashionable and barbaric to wear pants. Usually to keep themselves warm they just wore more layers of clothing underneath their armor and not pants.
Anthony Flores
Is that a bullet hole in the helmet?
Gavin Brown

Kayden Nelson
Looks more like a hole left from a polearm or spear, judging from the hole's contours and it's location.

Braccae were quickly adopted from the Hos/Trous the Germanics and Gauls wore respectively.
They were not idiots. Gaul and Germania get a fuckton colder than Rome.
