Breeches were originally invented by the Celts.  Roman legionaries adopted these short pants while on campaign in the colder northern climates.  After a few hundred years they soon became common wear in the empire.  Breeches are basically short pants, that come to just below the knees.  Unlike the later renaissance period, Romans did not wear tights or long leggings under their breeches.
     In Iridine, breeches tend to be worn by the lower classes, or laborers, as the toga is impractical.  Warriors who are more accustomed to warmer climates, such as Iridine, Aestiva and Cinera, tend to favor these over the longer pants.  All new comers to the Eternal City, will find themselves outfitted with a pair of breeches.

Breeches are available at:
