ROMAN EMPIRE
509BCE - 476CE
Dress was carefully prescribed in Roman society, especially for men; rank and status determined whether the toga could be worn (only by Roman citizens) and whether it might be colored.
Only the emperor could wear purple, but priests, senators, and equestrians (serving in the army or the administration) might wear a stripe of purple on their robes.
A women's basic garment was the stola, a robe which hung in pleats from the shoulders, where it fastened with brooches or clasps called fibulae and was often held in under the bust and around the waist with a belt.
Over this, ladies wore a palla (shawl), which might cover the head.
Madder (red), saffron (yellow), and indigo (blue) dyes were available, and clothes were sometimes embroidered.
Most garments were wool or linen, but silk was imported for the wealthy.
Foreign captives and slaves wore a tunica (tunic).
Leather sandals or boots protected the feet.
HAIRSTYLES
Hairstyling was important for both men and women, and hair fashions changed often.
During the Imperial period (27BCE - 3CE) styles became increasingly elaborate, particularly for the nobility.
Men generally kept their hair short and neat, and where clean shaven.
Wealthy women had slaves to help them curl and dress their hair using ointments and calamistrum (curling irons).
To create styles such as the raised curls above, hair pieces or wigs were used, sometimes made with blonde hair from Germanic peoples.

罗马帝国
公元前509年 - 公元476年
着装在罗马社会是被严格规定的，特别对于男性来说；等级和地位决定了他们是否可以穿着toga长袍（仅限罗马公民），以及是否可以有颜色。
只有皇帝可以穿紫色，不过神父，参议员以及骑手（服务于军队或政府）能够穿着带紫色条纹的长袍。
女性的基本着装是stola斯托拉，一款从肩膀处打褶悬挂，以胸针或者扣子（我们称之为扣针）来固定的长袍，它经常被带子在胸下或腰部收紧。
除此之外，年轻女性戴一种能够覆盖头部的palla（披巾）。
茜草（红色），藏红花（黄色），靛蓝（蓝色）染色已经成为可能，有时衣物上会有刺绣。
大多数服装是羊毛或亚麻织物，而丝绸是为富人进口的。
外国战俘或者奴隶穿着tunica（也叫tunic），一种背心式内衣。
以皮质凉鞋或靴子保护脚。
发型
发型对男性女性都很重要，而且发型时尚经常变化。
在帝国时期（公元前27年-公元3年），造型风格越来越精细，特别对于贵族来说。
男性通常保持他们的头发短而整洁，并将胡须剃干净。
富人女性有奴隶帮助他们，用软膏和卷发器将头发卷曲并且做造型。
为了能做出那样的卷发，她们会使用一些真发发片或者假发，有时发片来自日耳曼人的金发。
