How much did a tunic cost in the Roman Empire? (2021)
> So a linen weaver would need to work for (500 / 2×40 to 500 / 2×20) 6 to 12 days to earn the price of the simplest linen tunic<p>So translating to modern wages (in US/Western Europe) somewhere between $500 and $1500 for the simplest tunic, or between $7000 and $21000 for the finest quality.<p>That certainly puts the practice of robbers to take people's clothes into perspective.
