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.
