The toga was a Roman dress form. Greeks would wear them only if they were given the privilege of being a Roman citizen, which was comparatively rare.

While the Romans greatly admired Greek culture, they generally held the Greeks in contempt as easy-beats and a source of slaves. Also, as the Greeks were already organised into city-states, they were citizens of them and consequently had a stable form of government, unlike the peoples of Spain, Gaul and Britain who were tribal and were given Roman citizenship fairly liberally. For a Greek to have Roman citizenship, he would have had to have rendered signal service to a powerful Roman patron (or have inherited it from an ancestor who had rendered such service).
