The various [[Celts|Celtic]] and [[Germanic peoples]] living in the colder Middle and Northern Europe wore long-sleeved tunics from as long back as pictorial evidence goes. Such tunics are often found depicted on the various Roman monuments depicting victories over these peoples and show the tunic as a simple pull-over construction reaching to the mid-thighs or the knees. Similar tunics were eventually taken up by the Romans and continued to be used into the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantine period]].

After the fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]], the long-sleeved Celto-Germanic tunic continued to be worn. The construction was more elaborate than the earlier Graeco-Roman garment, with a tight-fitting neck with a split down the front for pulling it over the head, and [[gusset]] under the arms and inserted around the lower half to give a flaring skirt. Being used by both [[Vikings]] and [[Normans]], the garment continued as a general male garment into the [[Middle Ages]], still being used in Norway as late as the 17th century.
