1. They were known for the wrapping and draping of fabric in various ways. This has had a huge influence on designers who design by draping, rather than through the flat pattern method.
2. They created the first POCKET in fashion - it wasn't really a constructed pocket, but rather the draping of fabric to conceal their "purse" or their money - men only, women did not carry money.
3. The color of the garments and shoes indicated their rank, as did the type of embellishments and quality of the wool fabrics they used. Purple was reserved for royalty, as was gold embroidery. Red was the color of war and worn by military in the plumes that extended from their helmets in a crest shape. Red and blue became the colors of the borders of the togas worn by the senators - each color indicating their "party" as you will see in the Republican and Democrat symbols today.
4. The use of symbols, eventually known as "crests" became an important way of first indicating the country you were from, the emperor for whom you were fighting and eventually the family in which you were born. These crests were worn on the sides of the helmets of the men in military, similarly to the symbols on the side of a football players helmet, which indicates his team! This trend remained even after the fall of the Roman Empire. They were embroidered on garments to show your family, as society rank was through wealth. Today, we see these as "logos" - two C's on the side of your sunglasses today indicate the designer (Chanel), or that you paid too much for them, or you got some really good knock offs!
5. The Romans were also the first to use a veil for a bride getting married. They were opaque and the bride did not see her husband until the point of taking vows. The veil was suppose to insure that she would not be possessed by another man prior to her husband. The bridesmaids were suppose to distract other men or evil spirits, so they were often very decorated and dressed more "sexual" so the bride would garner no attention.
Roman fashion has influenced modern fashion in several ways. Elements such as draped garments, jewelry, sandals, and hairstyles have been incorporated into contemporary clothing and accessories. Additionally, the use of bold patterns, embellishments, and togas in high fashion shows and costumes have drawn inspiration from ancient Roman styles.
Roman influence can be seen in architecture, laws, language, and certain cultural practices around the world today. Examples include the use of Roman-inspired columns in government buildings, the basis for many modern legal systems derived from Roman law, the influence of Latin on many languages, and the continuation of Roman customs such as the celebration of holidays like Easter and Christmas.
people have found that life in Pompeii was a lot like our world today without all the electric things.
The Roman civilization is best known for its use of arches. They extensively used the arch in their architecture, including in famous structures such as the Colosseum and aqueducts. The invention and mastery of the arch allowed the Romans to create grand and durable structures that still stand today.
Roman arches revolutionized architecture by allowing for larger and more stable structures. They influenced the development of architectural styles such as Romanesque and Gothic, which are still seen in cathedrals and buildings today. The use of arches also led to the development of other architectural features like vaults and domes.
Around 90% of the ancient Roman population were engaged in farming as agriculture was the main economic activity in the Roman Empire. The majority of Roman citizens lived in rural areas and worked as farmers to produce food for their families and the empire.
