Who cast lots for Jesus’ clothes?

Mark 15:24 (ESV)

24 And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.

The Roman soldiers cast lots for his clothes (see also Psalm 22:18). Jesus’ clothes likely included a robe, a long T-shirt-like garment called a tunic, a cloth belt, sandals and perhaps a head covering.1
