Tunics brought respect to its carrier, then was why honor to have a coat well made, and with a beautiful ornamentation.
The tunic was also a symbol of wisdom, at that time few people could read, and the scribes who could read and write wore these robes symbolizing the protection provided by the acquired knowledge, since they were the great sages of the time.
Because people used cover? The cover protected sun traveler of the day and cold at night. Falling asleep she would serve him covered from the cold. The cover also protected the warrior steed.
