They did not have clothing stores in ancient Rome as we know them. Clothing was made at home by either the wife of the man needing a tunic or, if wealthy, a slave would be the family seamstress. At one time the Romans even wove the cloth at home, however as the empire expanded, ready made fabrics could be purchased and sewn together at home. The cost of these fabrics depended on how exotic or elaborate they were. A length of cloth for a plain wool tunic could cost as little as two or three asses, while an elaborate silk, embroidered with pearls and good threads could cost as much as an aureus.
