The wealthier Romans were able to afford the more luxurious fabrics for their clothing. For example, the wealthy could have soft fine wool for his tunics, while the poorer person had to settle for the coarser, maybe itchier wool. The wealthy could afford silks and linens and in the later part of the empire, cotton, while these fabrics were out of reach of the poor. The rich women could (and did) embellish their clothing with jewelry, while the poor woman was lucky if she had a cheap jeweled hairpin. The leather for a wealthy person's footwear was tanned and of a better quality than a poor person's and the wealthy could easily afford to have the fabrics for their clothing dyed with the more expensive dyes which could give them colors anywhere from pale pastels to the deep, almost iridescent purplish red the Roman senators wore. The poor, were mostly confined to the red and yellow dyes and mixtures of the colors they could produce because red and yellow were the cheapest dyes.
