GREEK AND
ROMAN DRESS
FROM A TO Z
Who dressed as a woman in an attempt to commit adultery with Julius Caesar’s
wife? How did the ancient Greeks make blusher from seaweed? Just how does one
wear a toga?
If, as many claim, the importance of clothes lies in their detail, then this is a
book that no sartorially savvy Classicist should be without.
Greek and Roman
Dress from A to Z
is an alphabetized compendium of styles and accessories that
form the well-known classical image: a reference source of stitches, drapery, hair-
styles, colours, fabrics and jewellery, and an analysis of the intricate system of
social meanings that they comprise.
The entries range in length from a few lines to a few pages and cover individual
aspects of dress alongside surveys of wider topics and illuminating socio-cultural
analysis, drawn from ancient art, literature and archaeology. For those who want
to take their reading further, there are references to both primary sources and
modern scholarship.
This book will be fascinating for anyone delving into it with an interest in style
and dress, and an invaluable companion for any Classicist.

THE ANCIENT WORLD FROM A TO Z
What were the ancient fashions in men’s shoes? How did you cook a tunny or
spice a dormouse? What did the Romans use for contraception?
This Routledge series provides answers to these questions and many more like
them which are often overlooked by standard reference works. Volumes cover key
topics in ancient culture and society, from food, sex and sport to money, dress and
domestic life.
Each author is an acknowledged expert in their field, offering readers vivid,
immediate and academically sound insights into the fascinating details of daily life
in antiquity. The main focus will be on Greece and Rome, though some volumes
also encompass Egypt and the Near East.
The series will be suitable both as background for those studying classical
subjects and as enjoyable reading for anyone with an interest in the ancient world.
