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.
The toga was a symbol of Roman citizenship. Under-age boys and slaves would wear tunics, and women would wear the stola.

The main article of Roman fashion, aside from the toga, was the tunic.
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.
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.

The men wore a tunic underneath a toga, which [the latter] had different stripes on resembling their status in society and job. They could wear sandals or boots. Women wore a stola, which was like a full, flowing dress, a palla [originally from Greece] worn as a head-scarf or belt. Sandals or boots were worn on the feet. At one time prostitutes had to wear a toga to distinguish them from other respectable women. Children would wear tunics and a bulla [a necklace that indicated that they were free-born]. They would wear sandals or boots too. Slaves would often wear a short tunic or just a loincloth if they were working outside. The emperor would [originally in ceremonies] wear purple in a toga.
