What did the boys wear in Ancient Rome?

Answer 1

Men wore a toga. This was a cloth of perhaps 20 ft (6 m) in length which was wrapped around the body and was generally worn over a tunic. The toga was made of wool] and the tunic often was made of linen. After the 2nd century BC, the toga was a garment worn exclusively by men, and only Roman citizens were allowed to wear the toga. After this time, women were expected to wear the stola; to distinguish prostitutes from respectable women, prostitutes were required to wear the toga.

Roman women wore a stola, the female equivalent of the toga. Most had short sleeves, but some had long sleeves. The tunic worn under the stola could have long sleeves. It was fastened around the shoulders by clasps. Two belts were worm. One below was the below the breasts, which created peats, and the other was around the waist. The stola of richer women could be elaborate and a limbus could be added to it. This was a piece of material with many pleats sown to the hem of the stola. It looked like another gown worn beneath the stola and created the look of many layers. This was a symbol of wealth.

The stola of poor women was a piece of material with holes for the head and the arms, tightened around the waist with a belt.

Roman girls were not allowed to wear the stola until they were married. The tunic and the cloak were the main items worn by Roman girls. Girls wore a simple tunic (tunica) with a belt at the waist. When they went outside, they wore a second tunic that reached their feet. Girls wore a cloak which was used as protection from the weather, was called a paludamentum and was fastened at the shoulder with a clasp, called a fibula. The cloaks often had head coverings attached to them.

The tunic and the cloak were also the main items worn by Roman boys. The tunic reached to the knees and had short sleeves. In the second century AD the style changed and long sleeves became acceptable in the tunic design. The cloak of boys was similar to that of girls and was attached in the same manner.
