Roman governors wore tunic and togas for formal occasions and tunics and cloaks for casual wear. Shoes for outdoor footwear and sandals or slippers indoors. They had no special "robes of office" except they could have a purple stripe on the hem of their tunics and toga.
Emperors wore toga trabea or toga purpurea, a purple toga which only emperors were allowed to wear, on ceremonial occasions. Emperors also wore the toga picta, which also was purple, but, unlike all other togas, was also richly embroidered and decorated with gold. They wore them on special occasions. Officers of state who financed games could also wear this toga on the opening of the game and so did military commanders during a celebration of a triumph. Purple was a very expensive dye because it involved the extraction of the gland of thousands of sea snails (Murex brandaris).
Given the expense of the above mentioned togas, ordinarily, emperors wore the Toga preatexta, a white toga with a broad purple border which was worn by the officers of state. What distinguished the emperor from other men who were allowed to wear this toga (officers of state and some priests) was that his toga was very expensive, made of finer cloth and worn more elaborately and that he wore a laurel wreath.
