EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Roman Men Wearing the Toga: A Study in Ancient Roman Fashion from Robert von Spalart's Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages (1796) This handcolored copperplate engraving, created by the renowned artist Robert von Spalart in 1796, showcases three Roman men elegantly dressed in the traditional toga. The toga, a symbol of Roman citizenship, was a simple yet versatile garment that was worn in various ways depending on the occasion and the wearer's status. The first man on the left wears the toga virilis, the toga of manhood, which was worn over a tunic and fastened with a fibula (brooch) at the shoulder. This toga was typically worn for formal occasions and signified the transition from boyhood to manhood. The second man in the middle wears the toga praetexta, a toga with a broad purple stripe along the edges, which was reserved for magistrates, senators, and other high-ranking officials. This toga was a symbol of power and authority and was worn during official ceremonies and public appearances. The third man on the right wears the toga trabea, a toga with a broad purple stripe and a white border, which was worn by the Roman tribunes, the representatives of the people in the Roman Senate. The toga trabea was a symbol of the tribunes' power to veto the decisions of the Senate and protect the rights of the Roman people. This engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Rome, providing a detailed and accurate representation of the various ways in which the toga was worn by different members of Roman society. The intricate details of the men's clothing, the folds of the toga, and the use of color all contribute to the visual appeal and historical significance of this beautiful work of art.
