Fashion

              For my project I researched the fashion of Rome. I chose this because my group wanted to make a video of a Pompeian coming to EGHS and fashion seemed like an important aspect to research. Similar to today, Roman style differed between the numerous social classes. (Book in class) The tunic that common people and slaves wore were made from a rough, dark material. The tunics worn by wealthier people were white wool or linen. Senators and other important people wore tunics with a colored pattern. For example, a red strip. They also had special tunics for those in the military which were shorter with lots of colors.
            Through out the roman culture, men hairstyles changed. At first, long hair and long beards were very popular. Then short hair and clean shaved faces were popular. Eventually, the long beards and hair came back. If a man were to go bald then they would wear a wig.
             Jewelry was also common. They only jewelry wore by men however were rings.                                                                                                                For this project my group made a video. The video was about a person from ancient Rome time traveling to the future and appearing at eghs.
The person was dressed in a toga and experienced all the modern day elements on the topics that each of my group members researched. From what I can remember, the actor playing the Roman, experienced modern day food in contrast with food in ancient food. He also experienced, art and clothing.
