"Alexander the great", while leading his army
would always wear something so the enemy troops could
recognize him from long distances. His brightly shining
armor would glisten in the sun and he wore two large
white plumes in his hat to distinguish him from the other
soldiers. While not in battle, the Macedonian actually
wore Persian clothing, at least during his late twenties
and early thirties. His silk Persian clothing consisted
of a long robe, cape, sash and headband in the royal
purple and white colors. ( talk about being fashionable at
the wrong time!!) |
