The Romans did not use umbrellas for protection against the rain. Rich women had a parasol to protect them against the sun and was carried by a slave. These women did not like to have a tan because they thought that it made them look like peasants. Therefore, they wanted to shelter form the sun. They also bleached their skin. The umbraculum was made of hide or leather. Its name was derived from umbra, the Latin for shade.
