Clothes

Thanks to the statues left by the Roman sculptors, we can reconstruct the style of dress of the time.
Men usually wore a short tunic; when they went out, and in particular occasions they used to wear over the tunic, the "toga", a white wool coat.
Women also wore the tunic and over it they used the "stola" (a long dress with a belt around the waist) to go out they put on a coat called "pallium", with its edge they used to cover their head.
