Toga
Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.

A toga era uma peça de vestuário característica da Roma Antiga.

Trata-se de uma peça de roupa de origem etrusca. De início, a toga

apresentava uma forma retangular e curta. Mais tarde, passou a ser
semicircular, tendo seu tamanho aumentado consideravelmente: a
toga chegou a atingir aproximadamente 6 metros no lado reto e 2
metros de largura. Por isso, era difícil de usar, pelo que os romanos
mais ricos possuíam mesmo um escravo encarregado de ajudar nesta
tarefa (o uestiplicus).

A toga era a marca distintiva do cidadão romano, sendo proibido o seu

uso aos estrangeiros e escravos. As mulheres romanas também
utilizaram a toga, mas gradualmente adotaram a estola (uma espécie
de vestido); a partir da época da República a toga passou a ser usada
apenas pelas mulheres condenadas por adultério.

Tipos de toga
Existiam vários tipos de toga, associadas a diferentes funções e
estatutos.

Toga viril (Toga pura/virillis) — era um toga lisa, feita de lã branca,

usadas pelos homens romanos assim que atingissem a idade Uma toga
adulta.
Toga pretexta (Toga praetexta) — era uma toga branca que
apresentava uma banda larga de cor púrpura. Era usada pelos
rapazes que ainda não tinham tomado a toga viril e pelas jovens
que ainda não tinham casado, bem como pelos principais
magistrados e sacerdotes.
Toga cândida (Toga candida) — toga de um branco imaculado,
era envergada pelos candidatos a cargos públicos (os candidati,
de onde deriva a palavra candidato). A brancura desta toga era
muitas vezes realçada recorrendo-se a cré.
Toga picta (Toga picta/purpurea) — usada pelos triunfadores e
mais tarde pelo imperador.
Toga sórdida (Toga sordida/pulla) — era a toga dos pobres e do
réu quando se apresentava no tribunal (servindo neste caso a
toga para inspirar um sentimento de piedade).
Magistrado vestindo uma
Toga trábea (Toga trabea) — era uma toga toda púrpura ou então toga
ornamentada com riscas horizontais de cor púrpura. Era usada
