No, at least not into battle. The toga was the hallmark of a Roman citizen, so some soldiers might have been able to wear it when they weren't in uniform (and only if they were upper-class). Togas would have been extremely impractical to wear into battle.

What type of clothing did Roman emperors wear?

Roman emperors wore the tunic and toga just like any other man. The difference was in the fabric and in the purple coloring. When the emperor Caracalla came to power the toga was banned and the emperor and all men were required to wear the "caracalla" which was a cloak-type outer garment.


What is the name of the tunic roman woman wore?

It was called stola. It was different than a man's tunic, which was called tunica. One difference was that it often had sleeves fastened with buckles. It went down to the feet. It often had a palla (a woollen mantle) over it and fastened on the right shoulder with a buckle. Many layers of cloth were used and arranged in different styles. This made its positioning complicated. A shorter stola with short sleeves was worn over a longer stola with long sleeves. It was made mainly of wool. In warm weather rich women wore silk stola. Linen stola, which were cool for the summer, were rare due to the scarcity of this fabric. Poorer women wore a simple stola with holes for the head and arms and put a belt around their wastes.

No, the Greek god Apollo did not typically wear a toga. In ancient Greek culture, Apollo was often depicted in a chiton, a type of garment that was common among the Greeks, rather than the Roman toga. The toga was primarily a Roman garment and became popular during the Roman era, long after the time of ancient Greek mythology. Apollo is usually represented in art wearing flowing robes, often symbolizing his divine status.
