Ancient Roman clothing

Today we talked about what clothes the Romans wore:

Women wore a stola and sometimes a palla over it.
(Of course, she chose to go put the crown on!)

Men wore a toga


Sandals were laced to the knee


Palla were often fastened at the shoulders with fancy pins


Amy, don't feel too bad...mine were all kind of "ghetto" as Sara would say. I kept all the stuff so the boys can try them on when they come over.

You knew I was going to comment. My boys would be so jealous if I so them this post because they wanted to do that but we didn't. They may think I'm a terrible mommy if they see this:(

Did you make the shoes, too?
