Romans had many different types of dress, above is just an example of a regular toga. Some more examples would be; Stole and Palla, Priest's toga, and the Pallium Cloak. The Romans dress was very similar to Greece, although modified a little bit. The clothes had to be very simple because some Romans did not have much money. All of the clothes were made out of wool, although there was a little bit of linen used. There was not much stitching or sewing, most clothes were fastened tightly together through clasps. Undergarments were worn under the Romans clothes, they were mostly a loin cloth knotted on both sides of it. The basic garment that was used in Roman clothing was the tunic. A Romans male tunic reached to the persons knees, although for a female it would reach to the ground or ankles. In cold weather Romans would wear possibly two or three tunics, each tunic was a different name. The first tunic would be called a subucula, the second would be an intusium or supparus. There were differences in some tunics depending on the colors or changes to it. A purple stripe called a clavus would a denoted senator, or show belonging to a certain group. More wealthy people wore a tunic called the dalmatica. The toga was only worn by free Roman citizens, if you were an exiled citizen or foreigner, you could not wear a toga and be seen.
