"DUV Wirtschaftswissenschaft"--P. 4 of cover.
This reivsed Phd thesis uses the large extant corpus of funerary
art from the Rhine Moselle region, to examine and analyse the
clothing depicted and to ask what they can tell us about cultural
identity in this frontier region and how they can be used to
explore concepts of Romanization. The study deals with civilian,
not military dress, and presents a typology of garments depcited,
and attempts to determine what was worn prior to Roman rule. The
results are analysed in three geographical case studies, showing
great localised divergence in self-presentation through dress even
within this one region. This is linked to the circumstances by
which these local areas were brought under Roman rule.
This book traces the toga's history from its origins in the
Etruscan garment known as the tebenna, through its use as an
everyday garment in the Republican period to its increasingly
exclusive role as a symbol of privilege in the Principate and its
decline in use in late antiquity. It aims to shift the scholarly
view of the toga from one dominated by its role as a feature of
Roman art to one in which it is seen as an everyday object and a
highly charged symbol that in its various forms was central to the
definition and negotiation of important gender, age and status
boundaries, as well as political stances and ideologies. It
discusses the toga's significance not just in Rome itself, but also
in the provinces, where it reveals ideas about cultural identity,
status and the role of the Roman state. The Toga and Roman Identity
shows that, by looking in detail at the history of Rome's national
garment, we can gain a better understanding of the complexities of
Roman identity for different groups in society, as well as what it
meant, at any given time, to be 'Roman'.
