What did the children in ancient Rome wear?

Answer 1

Roman girls were not allowed to wear the stola (an adult female garment) until they were married. They wore a simple tunic (tunica) with a belt at the waist. When they went outside, they wore a second tunic that reached their feet. They also wore a cloak, the paludamentum, as protection from the weather. It was fastened at the shoulder with a clasp, called a fibula. A head covering was often attached to it.

Roman boys wore a belted tunic which reached to the knees and had short sleeves. In the second century AD the style changed and long sleeves became acceptable. They also wore cloak which was similar to that of girls and was fastened to the shoulder in the same manner.

Boys wore the bulla and girls wore the lunula. Was a neck chain with a locket which contained amulets (usually phallic symbols) as a protection against evil spirits. It was made of lead and for the well-off, it was covered in gold. The bulla of rich people was entirely made of gold. Boys stopped wearing the bulla when they turned into adults on their being made citizens around the age of 16. The lanula was also an amulet. It was worn until the eve of the girl's marriage when it was removed and her toys were also taken away.
