    THE Roman Emp.

    Uploaded by

    Adya Sharma
    The Romans borrowed many garment styles from neighboring cultures like the Greeks and Etruscans, though they developed their own variations over time. Togas signified status and rank in Roman society through decorative elements like color, and different types of togas were worn by social classes like citizens, priests, and emperors. Women typically wore a tunic and stola, a dress, and sometimes a palla, a cloak. Clothing helped establish social hierarchies and conveyed civic virtues, and rare and luxurious fabrics like Tyrian purple were reserved only for royalty.

    THE

    ROMAN
    EMPIRE
    Several garments were
    borrowed by Mediterranean
    neighbors, mainly GREEKS
    and ETRUSCANS. Even the
    most characteristic garment
    TOGA was Etruscan in
    origin. But Roman had their
    upgradation in a toga, they
    never wore it without a tunic
    underneath.
    In roman society, dresses were used
    to establish a social hierarchy. The
    quality of the garment or sizes were
    used for differentiation.
    Clothing also defined the civic and
    moral values of the society like
    chastity for women and dignity for
    men. Garments even served
    punishments.
    EARLY CLOTHING
    (around the 4th century)
    MEN Togas depicted status through its colour
    and stripping. It had various types like toga Pura
    common clothing for the average citizen. Toga
    Pulla was dark in colour and was worn for
    mourning or at times of imperial crises. Toga
    Praetexta had purple strings which were for priests
    and magistrates. Toga Candida was a bleached
    white tunic, worn by higher members of The
    Senate(it functioned as a legislative body; king’s
    council). Toga Trabea was worn only by the
    emperor or select members of the royal family due
    to its colour.
    VARIETIES
    OF
    TOGA
    WOMEN A long or short-
    sleeved intimate tunic called
    Tunica Intima was worn beneath
    the Stola- a long linen dress,
    usually in 3/4th length sleeves.
    Then they wrapped Palla over
    the stola. Palla was a rectangular
    cloak of varying textiles and
    weight depending upon the
    weather and occasion. For the
    rich, Stola used to be made up of
    silk, with fancy embroidery
    TYRIAN PURPLE
    Before it was synthetically manufactured, purple(Tyrian purple) was only
    available from a mucous secretion of the murex sea snail. This made it
    incredibly rare and valuable. Consequently, it was only worn by royalty,
    both in the days of Rome and the century beyond. This reddish-toned
    purple is known as Imperial purple, Royal purple, or Tyrian purple
    TUNICS
    Both men and women wore
    tunics beneath their toga(men)
    and stola (women). These
    were mostly made of wool for
    cooler months or linen for
    warmer months. Normally a
    tunic was sleeveless and worn
    with a belt for definition.
