Poor people wore the same type of clothing as the wealthy but of inferior material. They wore the tunic and cloak or tunic and toga if they were citizens. However, the fabric of their clothing was coarser wool than the elite and the poor more than likely had a lot more patches in their tunics. The colors of the clothing of the poor was often simply the brownish/beigeish color of undyed wool. If their clothing were dyed at all it would have been some combination of the red and yellow as these two dyes were the cheapest.
