Who dressed as a woman in an attempt to commit adultery with Julius
Caesar's wife? How did the ancient Greeks make blusher from
seaweed? Just how does one wear a toga? If, as many claim, the
importance of clothes lies in their detail, then this a book that
no sartorially savvy Classicist should be without. Greek and Roman
Dress from A to Z is an alphabetized compendium of styles and
accessories that form the well-known classical image: a reference
source of stitches, drapery, hairstyles, colours, fabrics and
jewellery, and an analysis of the intricate system of social
meanings that they comprise. The entries range in length from a few
lines to a few pages and cover individual aspects of dress
alongside surveys of wider topics and illuminating socio-cultural
analysis, drawn from ancient art, literature and archaeology. For
those who want to take their reading further, there are references
to both primary sources and modern scholarship. This book is be
fascinating for anyone delving into it with an interest in style
and dress, and an invaluable companion for any classicist.
