[SCA-AS] Weaving

OK, folks, I need some help from our fabric people.

I want to make a tunic, in the Byzantine style, with the whole thing
woven of a piece- sleeves, neck slit, the whole shot. I've figured out
how _I_ can do it, using my fairly limited knowledge of weaving, but
I'd dearly love to know what sort of loom would be used in period, and
how it would work.

Can someone direct me to resources, preferably on line, that would
show various period types of looms, and how they were used?
