Wealthy nobles often paid their servants with their "old" clothes, which were made of rich fabrics. It was illegal for poor and lower class people to wear clothing made of certain fabrics such as satin, silk and velvet. Therefore, the servants sold the clothes to the acting companies to get money and the actors were allowed to wear the clothes on the stage because they were playing characters that were usually nobles and kings. If they were playing historical characters, such as Romans, they might have special costumes made that kind of looked Roman. There is a drawing, made in Shakespeare's time, that shows actors in the play "Titus Andronicus." Their costumes are a combination of Roman robes and Roman style helmets and Elizabethan clothing.
