Explanation: Romans wore tunics, which generally did not reach the knees. Flexible and breathable! This includes the Roman Legions. Trousers were denigrated as ‘barbarian’, though Legions in northern areas and the later Empire would begin to wear them regularly.
Julius Caesar’s right-hand man, Mark Antony, was noted as wearing scandalously short tunics to show off his muscular legs. Ooh la la!

Well those legs worked for Cleopatra, so I guess complete success?
Mark Antony was in general considered something of a ladies’ man, so complete success indeed!
What a hoe!
It’s not like cloth pants are going to stop a weapon …
Not weapons, but ticks, smaller thorns in underbrush, stiff breezes in not-so-mediterranean climates, just everything nasty and irritating stuff.
You’ll never conquer the known world with that attitude!
What’s the point of winning if you don’t look good doing it?
