Roman Men

Roman men wore mostly tunics and togas that were made of different fabrics among different classes. Roman Soldiers wore different types of armor.
 * Plebeians- ** Plebeian men wore comfortable tunics that are similar to long tee-shirts. They used cool linen for summer wear and warm wool for winter wear.
 * Patricians- ** Patrician men wore similar tunics to the plebeians, but were made from more expensive wool and linen. Some higher level patricians such as senators, consuls, and even emperors, wore togas during state occasions. Togas were about 9 yards long, and were arranged in a stylish way. They fell out of style quick though.
 * Roman Soldiers- ** Roman soldiers wore chain mail, scale armor, and leather armor. These did not make much shine for look, but protected well.

Roman Women Married Roman women wore stolas.Stolas went all the way down to the feet of the woman wearing it. Women often put what was called a palla over the stola in colder weather. Roman women also wore tunics. The tunics that women wore were different than the ones that men wore. The womans tunic had sleeves fastened by buckles. A cloak would often be worn over the tunic.
 * Plebeians- ** The lower class woman wore simple tunics. In the winter they would wear tunics made out of wool with a belt at the waist. In the summer women would wear tunics made of cool linen.
 * Patricians- ** Upper class women mostly wore the same as lower class women. Just like the lower class they wore linen in the summer and wool in the winter. Some upper class women wore silk also. Some tunics were even died different colors. By: Ava

=Clothing Rules= The People of Rome Couldn't wear just anything they wanted. There government controlled what they could and couldn't wear. - Only married women would wear stolas. - Only royalty were aloud to wear the colors purple and gold. - If a Roman was rich or part of the senate they would wear red stripped tunics. - A red stripe on a tunic or toga meant the person was wealthy.
