Year 7 Life in Rome

Year 7 History students have been investigating everyday life in Rome.  At the end of one lesson, several students got to dress up in a traditional tunic to understand the simple nature of clothing during this period for the ordinary citizens compared to the more decorative features on clothing for officials such as augurs, (yellow toga), censors (purple toga) and a candidate standing for election (whtie toga).  They also reflected on how clothing continues to reflect status within modern society.
