Toga of the average citizen during the early principate?
#1
I'm reading Lilian Wilson's book, "The Roman Toga", and I can't help wonder whether the average citizen during the 1st and early 2nd century would of worn a toga as elaborate as the huge imperial types. For everyday business in the local forum what would be the standard for dress? Would the much more practical Republican togas have continued to be used into Imperial period? Would a toga like those shown on the Ara Pacis, with the addition of the sinus, be saved for ceremonial occasions, or was that an everyday toga? <p></p><i></i>
