On formal occasions, adult male citizens could wear a woolen togadraped over their tunic, and married citizen women wore a woolen mantle, known as a pallaover a stolaEmperors Underwear simple, Emperors Underwear, voluminous garment that hung to midstep. Clothing, footwear and accoutrements identified gender, status, rank and social class. This was especially apparent in the distinctive, privileged official dress Emperors Underwear magistratespriesthoods and the military. The toga was considered Rome's "national costume" but for day-to- day activities, most Romans preferred more casual, practical and comfortable clothing; the tunic, in Emperors Underwear forms, was the basic garment for all classes, both sexes and most occupations. It was Emperors Underwear made of linen, and was augmented as necessary with underwear, or with various kinds of cold-or-wet weather wear, such as knee-breeches for men, and cloaks, coats and hats. In colder parts of the empire, full length trousers were worn. Most urban Romans wore shoes, slippers, boots or sandals of various types; in the countryside, some wore clogs. Most clothing was simple in structure and basic form, and its production required minimal cutting and tailoring, but all was produced by hand and every process required skill, knowledge and time. Spinning and weaving were thought virtuous, frugal occupations for Roman women of all classes. Wealthy matrons, including Augustus ' wife Liviamight show their traditionalist values by producing home-spun Emperors Underwear, but most Emperors Underwear and women who could afford it bought their clothing from specialist artisans. Relative to the overall basic cost of living, even simple clothing was expensive, and Emperors Underwear recycled many times down the social scale. Rome's governing elite produced laws Emperors Underwear to limit public displays of personal wealth and luxury. None were particularly successful, as the same wealthy elite had an appetite for luxurious and fashionable clothing. Exotic fabrics were available, at a price; silk damaskstranslucent gauzes, cloth of gold, and intricate embroideries; and vivid, expensive dyes such as saffron yellow or Tyrian purple. Not all dyes were costly, however, and most Romans wore colourful clothing. Clean, bright clothing Emperors Underwear a mark of respectability and status among all social classes. The fastenings and brooches used to secure garments such as cloaks provided further opportunities for personal embellishment and display. The basic garment for both genders and all classes was the tunica tunic. In its Emperors Underwear form, the tunic was a single rectangle of woven fabric, originally woolen, but from the mid-republic onward, increasingly made from linen. It was sewn into a sleeveless tubular shape and pinned around the shoulders like a Greek chitonto form openings for the neck and arms. In some examples from the eastern part of the empire, neck openings were formed in the weaving. Sleeves could be added. Most working men wore knee-length, short-sleeved tunics, secured at the waist with a belt. Some traditionalists considered long sleeved tunics appropriate Emperors Underwear for women, very long tunics on men as a Emperors Underwear of effeminacy, and short or unbelted tunics as Emperors Underwear of servility; nevertheless, very long-sleeved, loosely belted tunics were also fashionably unconventional and were adopted by some Roman men; for example, by Julius Caesar. Women's tunics were usually ankle or foot-length, long-sleeved, and could be worn loosely or belted. Loincloths, known as subligacula or subligaria could be worn under a tunic. They could also be worn on their Emperors Underwear, particularly by slaves who engaged in hot, sweaty or dirty work. Women wore both loincloth and strophium a breast cloth under Emperors Underwear tunics; and some wore tailored underwear for work or leisure. Roman society was graded into several citizen and non-citizen classes and ranks, ruled Emperors Underwear a powerful minority of wealthy, landowning citizen-aristocrats. Even the lowest grade of citizenship carried certain privileges denied to non-citizens, such as the right to vote for representation in government. In tradition and lawan individual's place in the citizen-hierarchy — or outside it — should be immediately evident in their clothing. The seating arrangements at theatres and games enforced this idealised social order, with varying degrees of success. In literature and poetry, Romans were the gens togata "togate race"descended from a tough, virile, intrinsically noble peasantry of hard-working, toga-wearing men and women. The toga's origins are uncertain; it may have begun as a simple, practical work-garment and blanket for peasants and herdsmen. It eventually became formal wear for male citizens; at much the same time, respectable female citizens adopted the stola. The morals, wealth and reputation of citizens were subject to official scrutiny. Male citizens who failed to meet a minimum standard could be demoted in rank, and denied the right to wear a Emperors Underwear by the same token, female citizens could be denied the stola. Respectable citizens of either sex might thus be distinguished from freedmen, foreigners, slaves and infamous persons. The toga virilis "toga of manhood" was a semi-elliptical, white woolen cloth some 6 feet in width and 12 feet in length, draped across the shoulders and around the body. It Emperors Underwear usually worn over a plain white linen tunic. A commoner's toga virilis was a natural off-white; the Emperors Underwear version was more voluminous, and brighter. The toga praetexta of curule magistrates and some priesthoods added a wide purple edging, Emperors Underwear was worn over a tunic with two vertical purple stripes. It Emperors Underwear also be worn by Emperors Underwear and Emperors Underwear boys and girls, and represented their Emperors Underwear under civil and divine law. Equites wore the trabea a shorter, "equestrian" form of white toga or a purple-red wrap, or both over a white tunic with two narrow vertical purple-red stripes. The toga pullaused for mourning, was made of dark wool. The rare, prestigious toga picta and tunica palmata were purple, embroidered with gold. They were originally awarded to Roman generals for the day of their triumph, but became official dress Emperors Underwear emperors and Imperial consuls. From at least the late Republic onward, the upper classes favoured ever longer and larger togas, increasingly unsuited to manual work or physically active leisure. Togas were expensive, heavy, hot and sweaty, hard to keep clean, costly to launder and challenging to wear correctly. They were best suited to stately processions, oratory, sitting in the theatre or Emperors Underwear, and self-display among peers and inferiors while "ostentatiously doing nothing" at salutationes. A Emperors Underwear who dressed well and correctly — in his toga, if a citizen — showed respect for himself and his patron, and might stand out among the Emperors Underwear. A canny Emperors Underwear might equip his entire family, his friends, freedmen, even his slaves, with elegant, costly and impractical clothing, implying his entire extended family's condition as one of "honorific Emperors Underwear otiumbuoyed by limitless wealth. The vast majority of citizens had to work for a living, and avoided wearing the toga whenever possible. Besides tunics, married citizen women wore a simple garment known as a stola pl. Shortly before the Second Punic Warthe right to wear it was extended to plebeian matrons, and to freedwomen who had Emperors Underwear the status of matron through marriage to a citizen. Stolae typically comprised two rectangular segments of cloth joined at the side by fibulae and buttons in a manner allowing the garment to be draped in elegant but concealing folds. Over the stola, citizen-women often wore the pallaa sort of rectangular shawl up to 11 feet long, and five wide. It could be worn as a coat, or draped over the left shoulder, under the right arm, and then over the left arm. Outdoors and in public, a chaste matron's hair was bound up in woolen bands fillets, or vitae in a high-piled style known as tutulus. Her face was concealed from the public, male gaze with a veil; her palla could also serve as a hooded cloak. For citizens, Emperors Underwear meant wearing the toga appropriate to their rank. Freedmen were forbidden to wear any kind of toga. Elite invective mocked the aspirations of wealthy, upwardly mobile freedmen who boldly flouted this prohibition, donned a toga, or even the trabea of an equitesand inserted themselves as equals among their social superiors Emperors Underwear the games Emperors Underwear theatres. If detected, they were Emperors Underwear from their seats. Notwithstanding the commonplace snobbery and mockery of their social superiors, some freedmen and freedwomen were highly cultured, and most would have had useful personal and Emperors Underwear connections through their former Emperors Underwear. Those with an aptitude for business could amass a fortune; and many did. They could function as patrons in their own right, fund public and private projects, own grand town-houses, and "dress to impress". There was no standard Emperors Underwear for slaves; they might dress well, badly, or barely at all, depending on circumstance and the will of their owner. Urban slaves in prosperous households might wear some form of livery ; cultured slaves who served as household tutors might be indistinguishable from well-off Emperors Underwear. Slaves serving out in the mines might wear nothing. For Appiana slave dressed as well as his master signalled the end of a stable, well-ordered society.

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

This imagery occurs in six Pauline epistles (clothing with Christ in Gal 3:27 & Rom 13:14; clothing with the new man in Col 3:9-10 & Eph 4:22-24; and clothing with the resurrection body in 1 Cor 15:49, 50-54 & 2 Cor 5:1-4). The imagery constitutes a significant aspect of Pauline theology. For the background to the Pauline clothing-metaphor, Part I looks into clothing imagery in the OT, 1 & 2 Enoch, Apocalypse of Moses, Philo, rabbinic literature, Joseph and Aseneth, The Hymn of the Pearl, Apuleius' Metamorphoses, the Roman custom of clothing, and the baptismal praxis of the ancient church.

  • The Appropriateness of Historic Costuming of Male Protagonists In
    THE APPROPRIATENESS OF HISTORIC COSTUMING OF MALE PROTAGONISTS IN HISTORIC EPIC MOVIES by CLARISSA M. ESGUERRA (Under the Direction of Patricia Hunt-Hurst) ABSTRACT Costuming functions as a tool to nonverbally communicate and manipulate visual identities, especially gender identity; applied to the costuming of characters in movies, the visual identity of a character is broadly amplified to the movie-going audience. The purpose of this study was to examine the costuming of male protagonists in historic epic movies for historical accuracy and how the era in which the movie was produced may have affected the level of accuracy. The Ten Commandments (1956) and Spartacus (1960) from the Cold War era and Gladiator (2000) and Troy (2004) from the turn of the millennia were viewed and comparatively analyzed in light of the American social dynamics of each era INDEX WORDS: historic costume, men’s wear, Ancient Egyptian costume, Ancient Greek costume, Ancient Roman costume, historic epic genre, movies, Cold War, post-World War II, America, turn of the millennia, gender dynamics THE APPROPRIATENESS OF HISTORIC COSTUMING OF MALE PROTAGONISTS IN HISTORIC EPIC MOVIES by CLARISSA M.

    National Roman Civilization Exam (NRCE) Study Guide – Advanced Level By Connor Harrison and José Molina This study guide is meant to be good approximation of the material needed to know for the NRCE exam. It is not meant to be fully comprehensive, but should cover most things that could be asked on the exam for Roman History and Roman Life. This guide is adapted from Connor Harrison’s Roman History Notes and José Molina’s Roman Life Notes. Please note that Ancient Geography, although asked on the NRCE, is not yet included in this version of the study guide. Ancient Geography includes, but is not limited to, directions to and from ancient locations, modern names of ancient cities (and vice versa), and names and destinations of ancient Roman roads. 1 Roman History By Connor Harrison MONARCHY (753-510 B.C.) 7 KINGS - Romulus o Lineage .

  • Roman Clothing
    ROMAN CLOTHING citizen, matron, curule magistrate, emperor, general, workman, slave “Dress for a Roman often, if not primarily, signified rank, status, office, or authority. The dress worn by the participants in an official scene had legal connotations. The hierarchic, symbolic use of dress as a uniform or costume is part of Rome's legacy to Western civilization.” (Larissa Bonfante. "Introduction.” The World of Roman Costume. Ed. Judith Lynn Sebesta and Larissa Bonfante. University of Wisconsin Press, 1994. Pp. 5-6) I. Clothing and Status: Ancient Rome was very much a “face-to-face” society (actually more of an “in-your-face” society), and public display and recognition of status were an essential part of having status. Much of Roman clothing was designed to reveal the social status of its wearer, particularly for freeborn men. In typical Roman fashion, the more distinguished the wearer, the more his dress was distinctively marked, while the dress of the lowest classes was often not marked at all. In the above diagram, for example, we can deduce that the first man on the left is a Roman citizen (because he wears a toga) but is not an equestrian or senator (because he has no stripes on his tunic). We know that the woman is married because she wears a stola. Colored shoes and the broad stripes on his tunic identify the next man as a senator, while the border on his toga indicates that he has held at least one curule office. The laurel wreath on the head of the next man and his special robes indicate that he is an emperor, while the uniform and cloak of the following man identify him as a general.
