After a short introduction to the evidence (from archaeology, art and literature), and to the manufacture of clothing and its use in status display, she systematically treats male and female dress, looking at the tunic, toga (for men), mantle (for women) and cloaks; underwear, footwear and specialist wear; hats, hairstyles and jewellery. The book concentrates on the clothing work in the Mediterranean region, but includes a section on provincial fashions.A fine and varied corpus of illustrations (including colour plates) helps to bring the everyday world of the Roman Empire to life.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Arts & PhotographyTopic: Fashion & DesignRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
