Roman Clothing for Men


Men often wore one of two things, a tunica, or a toga. The tunica was a short woolen undergarment. This was avoided by the upper class because it was the general attire of the plebes(the lower class civilians). The Toga was specifically meant as a public display garment. Only Roman Citizens were aloud to were Roman Togas. It was meant to symbolize peaceful endeavorers. There were different types of Togas, and each toga would symbolize a persons social class.
