Editing Tunic (section)

===Greek tunic===
{{See also|chiton (garment)|exomis}}
Tunics were also worn in [[ancient Greece]], whence the Roman version was adopted. Later Greek and Roman tunics were an evolution from the very similar [[chiton (garment)|chiton]], [[chitoniskos]], and [[exomis]], each of which can be considered versions of the garment. In ancient Greece, a person's tunic was decorated at the hemline to represent the [[polis]] (city-state) in which he lived. Tunics might be dyed with bright colours like red, purple, or green.

There was also the ''sisúra'' ({{lang|grc|σισύρα}}), which according to Pollux was a tunic with sleeves of skins.<ref name="A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities">{{cite web |title=A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities (1890), PELLIS |url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0063:entry=pellis-cn |website=www.perseus.tufts.edu}}</ref> According to the [[Suda]], it was a type of inexpensive [[cloak]], like a one-shoulder tunic.<ref>[https://topostext.org/work/240#si.487 Suda, si.487]</ref> The ''[[A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities|Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities]]'' mentions that it seems to have been more of a cloak than a tunic, and was worn for warmth or used to sleep in.<ref name="A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities"/> According to the same source, late authors may use the term to mean a piece of cloth.<ref name="A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities"/>
