Aspects of Roman clothing have an
enormous appeal to the Western imagination. Their clothing style is an
inspiration to the clothing style of various other countries worldwide; in the
later generations. The type of Roman breastplate armor was used in the later
years by Europeans in their military attire. During the period of French
Revolution, attempts were made to dress the French officials in Roman toga to
indicate the importance of citizenship in a republic (as togas were an
indication of citizenship among the ancient Romans). The attire of modern day
brides of western countries has their veil and wedding ring inherited from the
Roman culture. The freed slaves of ancient Rome used to wear a bonnet; a cap
like cover. The brimless cap manufactured by liberty during the 18th
century had a resemblance to it.
Roman clothing remained the most
advanced culture of their time. It retains its grandeur and reputation as one
of the greatest cultural centres in the world. Their costumes provide an
insight into their national life and aesthetic values as well. Many costumes
worn today are a refinement of the past. They are a modern creation of people
anxious to reinvent their past.
