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.
Basic tunic
Equestrian tunic
Senatorial tunic
•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.
