  1. Roman Clothing By Julie Petrusa

  2. citizen, matron, curule magistrate, emperor, general, workman, slave

  3. The Toga

  4. Most ancient statues do not show these stripes, but this wall painting from a lararium in Pompeii depicts both the tunica laticlavia and toga praetexta.

  5. Sometimes their tunics also left one shoulder uncovered, as depicted in this mosaic of a man named Frucius (whose narrow stripes indicate equestrian rank) being attended by two slaves, Myro and Victor.

  6. Slaves were not inevitably dressed in poor clothing, however; Junius, the young kitchen slave depicted in this mosaic, wears a more elegant tunic and a gold neckchain.

  7. depiction of a matron whose elegantly draped palla has a fringe

  8. Statues of the first empress Livia prominently display her stola, even in this one whose head has been lost, a close-up clearly shows the strap of her stola.

  9. We do not know a great deal about Roman underclothes, but there is evidence that women wore a simple, wrapped loincloth (subligar or subligaculum, meaning “little binding underneath”) at least some of the time. Women also sometimes wore a band of cloth or leather to support the breasts (strophium or mamillare). Both these undergarments can be seen on the women from this fourth-century CE mosaic.

  10. Accessories

  11. Cameo portraits were worn, as in this pendant depicting a married couple.

  12. Gold coins (aurei) were often made into jewelry: a pendant with a coin of the empress Julia Domna, a pendant with garnets and a coin of the emperor Caracalla (son of Julia Domna and Septimius Severus).

  13. Silver was used less frequently, as in this medallion with chain or this bracelet with a portrait of a child.

  14. an armband with coins of Caracalla and his wife Plautilla
