Did Romans wear gloves?

The Romans wore gloves as protection, but not for fashion. They were used when it was cold or as protection against thorns. They were also worn when feasting especially when dipping food in a bowl. This was done to keep the hands from the food and to protect them from burns. Gloves were either mittens or fingerless gloves. The latter allowed sensitivity for tasks requiring finger dexterity such as stitching and embroidery. They were popular with the wealthy because it allowed to show their rings.


What did the Romans sleep on?

Some Romans slept in the nude, some wearing their underwear, some fully clothed. The Latin language distinguished between the amictus which were worn during the day and indumenta, which were worn day and night (usually this referred to underwear). Many Romans kept on their subligaculum (a linen loincloth knotted round the waist). Women did not take off their strophium or mamillare (bra). There were people who did not undress. They just took their cloak off and put it on the bed as extra bedding or on a chair.
