Clothing In Ancient Rome
Raw
Fibers
The Romans used several types of fibers. Wool was probably used most often, as it was easily obtained and it was relatively easy to prepare. Other materials used were of flax and hemp although a more complex process of preparation is necessary to create tissue from these sources as wool. There is evidence that cotton was used, but less often. Silk, imported from many places as was known.

Wild silk, ie, cocoons collected from the wild after the insect had eaten its way out, was also known. Wild silk, be smaller lengths, has been postponed. A rare luxury fabric with a beautiful gold Sheen, known as marine silk, was made from fine linen or fiber produced by Noble Pinna, a large shell Mediterranean.
Naturally, these different fibers had to be prepared in different ways. According to Forbes, their wool contained around 50% of impurities fat, flax and hemp were about 25% impure, silk was between 19 and 25% impure, while the cotton (the purest of all the fiber source) contained only 6% of impurities.
Wool, the fiber most commonly used, was probably the first material to be spun. The sheep of Tarentum were renowned for the quality of their wool, though the Romans never ceased to try to optimize the quality of the wool by crossbreeding. Wool is spun by the lanarii pectinarii. The production of flax and hemp is very similar to that of wool and was described by Pliny the Elder. After harvest, the material will be submerged (probably in water), it would be skinned and then released. Once dry, the fibers would be mechanically pressed (With a mallet) and then smoothed. Following this, the materials have been woven. Flax and hemp materials are both strong and durable.
Silk and cotton have been imported from China and India respectively. Silk was rare and expensive, a luxury afforded only to the richest and worn by women. Another type of silk, called "sea silk" was obtained from a snail and it was a luxury item as well.
The Romans to turn their equipment with a manual spinner. iron alum was used as a mounting base and it is known that the marine gastropod, haustellum brandaris, was used as a red dye, because of its red-purple dye (6,6 '-dibromoindigotin), the color of the emperor. A shade more widely used is indigo, allowing shades of blue or yellow, and madder, a dicotyledonous angiosperm, produces a shade of red and was one of the dyes less available. According to Pliny the Elder, a blackish color was preferred to red. Yellow, saffron obtained, is costly and reserved for clothing women married or Vestal. There was far less colors than we have today.
Archaeological discoveries in Greece vases represent the art of weaving, while writers in the field of antiquities mention the art of weaving and fiber production. Some clothing survived for several centuries and, as clothing is necessary, examples are many and varied. These materials often provide the information more detailed and valuable means of production used, colors used on the soil where the materials were cultivated and, therefore, on trade routes and climate, among other things.
Historical research in the field of vintage clothing is very active and it allows researchers to understand a lot about the lifestyle of the Romans. The materials used are similar to those used by the ancient Greeks, except the process of tillage has been improved and the linen and wool tillage were of much higher quality.
Skins, hides, skins and
The Romans had two main ways of tanning, one of which was mineral tanning, or "tawing" to skin leather without the use of tannin, especially by soaking in a solution of alum and salt. The Romans used tools that resemble those that would used in the Middle Ages.
The tanned leather, and has been used for fashion heavy coats to keep warm while Roman soldiers travel, and in cooler areas of Rome, it was used during the cold seasons.
The leather was not given to soldiers by military commanders or supervisors, but rather the wives of soldiers and family [citation needed] before the soldiers left for a campaign.
Although sometimes leather was used for protection against bad weather, its primary use [citation needed] was like armor secondary or less. Roman belts, cuffs, leather arm guard (Manica Latin) were made for the troops, and more generally, the gladiators. Most items have been increased quantitatively due to practical use during the first century AD in Roman legionnaires.
Animal skins were worn over the helmet with skins Bear to be popular among the legionnaires and cats with Preatorians. Ancient Roman taxidermists would retain the whole body and head, with the front legs attached to attach the armor. The animal's head would fit over the soldier's helmet and was worn mainly by aquilifer Roman which bore the symbol of Rome in the battle.
The Romans rarely used goatskin for their [citation needed] of leather, preferring pork or mutton, although ideally the leather was preferred that the skin more readily available livestock. The thickest and most durable leather was used for shoe soles.

Trades and their effect on clothing
In general, individual garments were woven on vertical looms during antiquity. This contrasts with the medieval period, when fabric was produced on foot-powered horizontal looms that was later transformed into clothing by tailors. Evidence of the transition between these two distinct systems of Egypt, suggests that he had begun by 298 AD, but it is likely that it was very gradual. The weaver sits at the loom producing horizontal rectangular lengths of cloth that have never been more two arms could reach the weaver's shuttle. Conversely, a weaver who was standing at a vertical loom could weave fabric with a width greater was possible to sit, including the toga, that could and did have a complex shape.
Women's Clothing
After the second century before AD, in addition to tunics, women wore stola very simple and mostly followed the fashions of their contemporaries in Greece. These wraps usually consisted of two segments rectangular fabric joined at the side of safety pins, brooches, and finally, the buttons in a way that allowed the garment drape freely on the forehead of the wearer. During the palla stola in general was increased, a kind of shawl is a piece of elongated material could be worn as a cloak, with or without hood, or slung over the left shoulder, under the right arm and then draped over the left arm.
Clothes for girls
Roman girls often wore nothing but a tunic to come to just below the knee or longer, belted at the size and decorated very simply, mostly white. When she left, she sometimes wore a different coat, more than the first, sometimes to the ankles or even feet. She also wore an amulet called bubble. The bubble was a heart of gold or leather that has been hung around his neck until the day she got married. The bubble was designed to be a talisman to protect it until the eve of her wedding. When she had a husband she no longer needs the bubble so it was burned.
Underwear
The Romans wore later, a tunic, often a simple rectangle sewn into a tubular shape and pinned on the shoulders like a chiton. The strophium or breast tissue, was another form of the underwear. The Latin word for underpants, subligaria was revealed by the Vindolanda tablets.
Official Clothing
The dress code of the day was complex and would reflect its exact position in the social order, gender, and language.
Togas
Main article: Toga
The variations of clothing worn in Rome were similar to clothing worn in Greece at the same time, with the exception of the Roman toga traditional. Until the second century BC, the toga was worn by both sexes and showed no distinction of rank - after that, a woman dressed a toga was marked as a prostitute. The differentiation between rich and poor has been made thanks to the quality of the material; the upper classes wore thin, naturally colored, wool togas while the lower classes wore coarse material or thin felt. They also differentiated by colors used:
praetextata the toga with a purple border, worn by male children and judges during official ceremonies
picta toga palmata, or robe, with a border of gold, used by generals in their triumphs
trabea '- purple robe entirely, worn by statues of gods and emperors
saffron robe - worn by augurs and priestesses, white with a purple stripe, also focused by consuls on public holidays and knights in a transvectio
Red border - Woren by men and women for festivals borders Blue -
Religious ceremonies
laena - worn by the King and the sacrifices flamens
saffron robes worn by women during ceremonies to Cybele - Crocota
Shoes
A typical Roman sandal (calceus calceolus or women) consisted of a leather sole with a long lace which was wound in leg the wearer. Lacing a shoe typical Roman would still leave part of the foot exposed. Many variants of these two models were found. The majority of Roman shoes were inspired by their Greek counterparts. It is assumed that the quality of women's shoes was found about how thin and light the leather was. The Romans also invented socks for soldiers to fight on the northern frontiers, sometimes worn in sandals.
during the early Republic, many Romans were barefoot most of the time indoors in particular. outside, they wore leather sandals. Later, the shoes have become more complex, and shoemakers have become more skilful in coordinating sandals, shoes and boots in canvas and leather. sandals women were either green, yellow or white men were either brown or black.
Clothing Roman late antiquity (284 AD-)
fashions Roman changed only gradually from the end of the Republic at the end of the western empire 600 years later. In the later empire, after reforms of Diocletian, clothing worn by soldiers and government non-military bureaucrats became highly decorated with strips woven or embroidered clavicle, and circular roundels, Corbicula, added to tunics and cloaks. These decorative elements usually consist of geometric models and stylized plant motifs, but may include human or animal figures. The use of silk has also increased steadily and Most of the courtiers of the late antiquity wore silk robes developed. Heavy military-style belts were worn by bureaucrats and soldiers, revealing the militarization of the late Roman government. Pants - considered barbaric clothing worn by the Germans and the Persians - were only partially resumed at the end of the empire into a sign for the conservative cultural decadence. In early medieval kings and aristocrats dressed end as the Roman generals, not like the old senatorial toga clad tradition.
