What did roman boys wear?

Answer 1

In ancient Rome boys wore belted tunics. This was their basic "tee shirt and jeans", so to speak. The tunic reached to the knees and had short sleeves. In the second century AD the style changed and long sleeves became acceptable. They also wore cloak which was similar to that of girls and was attached in the same manner: it was fastened at the shoulder with a clasp called fibula. They wore shoes for outdoors and sandals indoors. The toga preatexta, a white toga with a broad purple border which was worn by officers of state and some priesthoods and also by the senators of festival days, was originally also worn by the sons of patricians. Later all freeborn boys were allowed to wear it, although it was usually worn only by rich boys. Later still, freeborn girls were also allowed the toga preatexta until they got married (then they started wearing a woman's stola). Children of both sexes wore a bulla with the toga praetexta and stopped wearing it when they stopped wearing this toga. The bulla was a circular plate or boss of metal suspended from the neck. Its name was derived from its resemblance to a bubble floating on water. At some time during teenage, usually between 14 and 18, boys started to wear a man's toga, the toga virilis. The first wearing of the toga virilis was part of the celebrations on reaching maturity which involved a procession form the Forum to the Capitoline hill. The wearing of the toga virilis was called tirocinium fori, which was an introduction and training for public life.
