Old Roman Clothes
Below you will find fifteen intriguing drawings of women and men wearing Old Roman Clothes. They come from a variety of history books dealing with Ancient Rome. Ancient Roman clothing was less about “fashion trends” and more about signaling your social status and citizenship at a glance. For example, the tunica was the basic garment for everyone. Men wore it knee-length, while women wore a longer version. The Toga was the iconic symbol of Roman citizenship. It was a massive semi-circular cloth—up to 18 feet wide—wrapped intricately around the body. Because it was heavy, expensive, and impossible to put on without help, it eventually became used for more formal occasions rather than daily attire. In addition, respectable married women wore the stola, a long, belted dress, often topped with a palla (a shawl) when heading outdoors to maintain modesty.
