  **__Clothing __** Roman men usually wore two garments, the tunica and the toga. The tunica was a short woolen under garment with short sleeves. The tunic worn by patrician men was made from white wool or expensive linen, while the poor would wear whatever fabric was readily available. Similar to the toga, distinct tunics were worn to signify one's title. In addition, a belt would be worn around the waist of the tunica to hold the waist of the garment snug, giving the impression of a two piece garment. The classic toga was a distinct Roman garment that only actual citizens were allowed to wear. Its distinct purpose was to indicate peaceful endeavors, as opposed to the sagum cloak, worn during times of war.The toga was a large cumbersome robe like garment of white wool and used up to 9 yards of material. 

**__The Life of a Roman Slave __** Slaves were very important to the Ancient Romen citizens. Without slaves, they wouldn’t be able to live the lives they wanted to, lives of luxury. The slaves had to do much of the work around their owner’s homes including cooking and cleaning. This left time for their masters to do other work. The wealthy citizens in Roma, such as members of the senate, could run Rome, but without the slaves, they wouldn’t have time to. Slaves were very important to the citizens of Ancient Rome.
