Roman Era:

Dress for Roman's often signified rank, status, office or authority. Much of Roman clothing was designed to state their social status, mostly for men. Roman's would have colored bands on their tunica, which would indicate rank. Crimson was a popular color. Important men would wear red shoes. Typically Roman garments were made from wool which the women spun the fleece and and then made into thread and wove the cloth in their home. This picture is from the Roman era, 735 BCE - 330 AD.
