The book concerns female dress in Roman life and literature. The
main focus is on female Roman dress as it may have been worn in
daily life in Rome and in a social environment influenced by Roman
culture in the time from the beginnings of the Republic until the
end of the 2nd century AD. There is, however, a certain surplus as
to its contents because many Latin texts also talk about mythical
Greek dress and the largely fictional early Roman dress.
Altogether, large parts of the history of Roman dress are only
known to us through what scholars thought about it in Classical and
Late Antiquity. For this reason, this book is not only about real
female Roman dress, but also about the ancient pseudo-discourse on
early female Roman dress, which has been taken too seriously by
modern scholarship. This pseudo-discourse has been mixed together
with real facts to produce an ahistorical fabric. It therefore
appeared necessary to break with this old tradition and to take a
completely new path. The detailed analysis of many texts on female
Roman dress is the basis of this new handbook meant for
philologists, historians, and archaeologists alike.
