Roman Togas and Tunics in Daily Life
The Lockhorns wear red togas with gold embroidery while national officers sport white togas with red borders. Romans wore tunics indoors and added togas outdoors on cool days. Farmers worked in tunics without togas, reserving them for city visits, reflecting practical dress in daily life.
