I WILL DISCUSS:

• ANCIENT ROMAN CLOTHING OF MALES OF ALL CLASSES

• ANCIENT ROMAN CLOTHING OF FEMALES OF ALL CLASSES

• ANCIENT ROMAN CLOTHING OF CHILDREN OF ALL CLASSES

The tunic was the most basic garment worn by the Romans. It was the standard dress in Ancient Rome, although it was sometimes used as an undergarment, for most Romans and slaves that was the only thing they would put on before going outside.

•Only free citizens could wear togas

• Foreigners and exiled citizens could not wear a toga.

•At first, the toga was worn directly over the naked body, then later, a simple tunic was added underneath.

Praetexta - worn by magistrates and children. It was considered sacred. Pura, Virilis, Libera - Worn by adults because of its name Virilis or Libera (free). Pulla, Sordida - These were black and generally worn in occasions such as mourning of the dead Undulata, Sericulata, Rasa, Paverata, Phryxiana, Scutulata and so on. All on account of the fabric's weave, design etc. Picta, Palmata - Decorated with palmettes around the border Purpurea - the purple robe of kings and emperors borrowed from Etruscan tradition. Trabea and Chlamys - Similar to the Picta and Purpurea but possibly worn more often by military officers or soldiers as a coat.

Men of Ancient Rome dressed depending on their class or rank. For example, a slave dressed differently than an emperor.

Citizen, matron, magistrate, emperor, general, workman, slave

The dress of male Ancient Roman citizens and slaves was very simple. They usually wore the plain white tunic, and if they were a bit wealthier they wore the toga over that.

• Higher class men wore a Picta or Palmata

• A higher class man wore a purple or red stripe in his toga to classify his rank

• Emperors wore a type of toga/robe called a Purpurea

•The only women who wore togas were known as common prostitutes.

• Toga was a mark of disgrace for women

•Married women wore the Stolae

• Women didn’t go out doors without wearing a sort of cloak of shawl called the Palla

• Children wore a type of clothing called the Bulla

• Young men wore a toga called Toga Paetexta

• Girls wore a similar type of clothing to the Toga Praetexta

• When girls got older, they wore a Palla

This is my concluding slide.

There were many types of roman clothing, even though they were named differently for every slight

change.
