THE TOGA?
This man is wearing a toga. Only male citizens of Rome were togas. They
were made out of wool and were very large. The material was not sewn or pinned
but was dropped around the body and over one arm. Togas were very expensive
because of the large amount of material needed to make them and very heavy. It
was the law that all citizens wore togas for public events. They were even told
which colour of toga they had to wear:
?A plain white toga was worn by all adult male citizens.
?And off – white toga with a purple border was worn by magistrates and upper
class boys.
?A toga made of dark coloured wool was worn after someone had died.
?A bleached toga was worn by politicians.
?A purple toga with good embroidery was worn by a victorious general and later by
emperors.
?In later times it became more acceptable to wear togas of different colours with
embroider but this was fawned on by preferred to keep to the established order.

THE TUNIC ?
The tunic was standard dress for all men from
slave to the nobles. It could be
worn plain, belted at the waist or under a cloak. Citizens of a Rome would wear a
tunic under their toga.
The simplest and cheapest tunics were made by sewing two pieces of wool
together to make a tube with holes for the arms. For those that could afford it tunics
could be made of lines or even silk. The tunic would be worn belted at the waist
and just covering the knees.
SHOES ?

Indoors, the Romans wore open-toed sandals. However, outdoors they preferred
to wear shoes that covered their toes. The Romans made shoes and sandals by
fixing strips of leather to a tough leather or cork base. Sandals, to be worn indoors
or in the summer, had a smaller number of leather strips. Shoes for walking, for
winter or for soldiers had many more leather strips to cover the toes and provide
more warmth.
