Historical Draped Garment: Roman Toga

The garment illustrated in this image is a toga, a distinctive garment of Ancient Rome (about 753 BC - 44 BC (1)). Toga's were worn by draping and wrapping a cloth of perhaps twenty feet in length around the body and generally worn over a tunic. Toga's were typically made of wool and the tunic beneath often made of linen (2).
