How Did the Ancient Romans Actually Dress? 

Omg didn’t know this! Super cool

The sea creatures they used to make the dye also REEKED. It was an utterly nauseating process to actually even MAKE the dye.

@@lexigrimhaive do they still make it this way??

@@conclavecabal.h0rriphic The short answer is yes. The long one is theory of how to make it without snails was written in 2010 and it still costs 3 grand per gram

I love you

Yeah I didn't get that dig at Rome in the intro either. Narrator probably never even watched Rome.

@@ipellaers the narrator probably didn't even write the script

too bad the show got cancelled

@BeavisMalverde lol yes

One day, I'm going to show up to school in a fucking toga.

That’s always existed. Medieval peasants were banned from using certain fabrics, dyes, and furs because then they may be mistaken for a noble.

@@gamercarmen3957 YESSSSS 🤣👏

@Ghost Ghost Last time I was this early, Palpatine was still a senator.

@Ghost Ghost Last time I was this early a ghost was a ghost

@Ghost Ghost damn

And the troops didn’t like him or his attitude.

It was also a name that Caligula *hated* and if you called him that to his face, he’d invent a way to make you regret it. If he knew that was how history would remember him, he’d have probably done something preemptively awful to prevent that. O, Irony

They called him “Caligula” because his father had a pair of soldiers boots made for him. The soldiers all loved it and started calling him that. It stuck.

To be a raging perv.

Or as Mary Beard delightfully puts it, 'Bootykins'.

The only correct answer*

Me too

Amen

u mean drapey?

Pursue the drip

They did it. They actually did it.

I definitely miss my Rome being sacked, let me tell yea!

I about choked on my popcorn at that one!

hahaaha

“Madeus in Chinus”? Que? See, thisus is whyus I buyus productii “Madeus in Roma”!

Some things never change.

@@JustANervousWreck lmaoo

Not sexy as romans there's already call modesty at China when they're make clothing at least most of it cover all body especially women

Not me reading this while wearing socks and sandals cuz I can't afford winter shoes right now 😓

😹😹😹😭

Whilst shouting "TOE-GUH! TOE-GUH! TOE-GUH!"

Graduation gear originated from Muslims

@@giantred PLSSS😭🤚

He wears the Toga Picta

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who recreates popular dishes from the past cause his voice is so distinctive

​@@user-jt3zv2jc7u If you’re thinking of Max Miller, nope . . . not him. The most popular narrator for Weird History is Tom Blank. He’s the one with the mesmerizing voice.

Ancient people were more likely to suffer from constipation and if it was diarrhea...usually so bad they weren’t going to the senate.

Imagine women having to menstruate in a giant bulk of white silk. I bet it was stressful.

@@___LC___ i kind of doubt that. It would have been extremely easy to get diarrhea from parasites found in food and water. Not to mention all of the other causes of diarrhea that we still suffer from today.

Well, you could wash it with urine, so not a problem.

@@nonamenoname1942 RE: "Well, you could wash it with urine, so not a problem." A fullo was a Roman fuller or laundry worker. Hence, the modern family name of Fuller.

Gotta love it!!! Love the historyyyyy haha

Agreed!! I’d be more interested in this than the upper elations

I didn’t even see that jeksjxbqkjzhs

Watch his first vid

doubt it

And now Floridian!

Now I don't feel so bad.

@@Learnamericanenglishonline Same for me except with Crocs. 🙋

@@eddysgaming9868 I remember getting ridiculed by a young lady way back in 1998. She might have simply been rude. 🙋🤔

Lol

Hope you guys are recovering from that nasty explosion. Anyone powerful went to jail already? Probably not, just like here in Brazil...

Do you know what the Phoenicians actually called themselves? Since it transpires that Phoenician is an a Greek exonym?

Looked like a straight razor and to help they used a slave.

Mirrors were a thing already or polished black wood.

the razors had a pretty wide range of styles, a lot look similar to an Ulu knife or Mesa Luna, others are similar to a Japanese style straight razor. oil or light grease seems to have been the norm in place of shaving soap or cream. And usualy one would go to a barber for a shave or have a friend/ slave/ partner shave them. The needing of help to shave was one of the reasons the Romans were very judgmental of bearded people, it meant you were poor and alone.

A well sharpened blade and soap has always worked lol.

@@MrLoobu soap was not a thing for most of the period.

I wonder when the Toga or Ancient Rome's fashion will come back into style, usually fashion goes around in circles 😂

ok

Actually, I noticed that it isn’t …

Lol i used to hide behind my book and go to sleep

I wonder how they discovered it XD

It's like how the dye that colour jeans is green, and turn blue when oxidised

@@mfaizsyahmi That's called indigo dye.

Cold enough.

"Extremely cold" is subjective.

@@chocolatethunda0177 Considering Denmark, ie Southern Scandinavia, sits on the end of the Gulf Stream and thus is the destination of a lot of warm water, resulting in one of the mildest temperature ranges in the world, I'd have to disagree here. Italy's winters are colder. Summers much the same.

It's much cold in today Romania (ancient roman province Dacia) than Southern Scandinavia...

Below 27 Celsius is cold

Abby cox has a good video on the history of corsets if you're interested

In very little.

Who?

Egyptians*

@@TadanGirl lol I know right

Coming soon, The Egypgens. Not to be confused with the Egyptians, their very human compatriots. Brought to by the conspiracy theorist organization Friday the Thirteenth!

Urine was aged to achieve ammonia. It’s also good as a fertilizer.

Challenge accepted!!

So long as you stick the Tide Pods in the washing machine and not your mouth, you should be good to go.

Yesssssss!!

probably similar things since biblical times took place in the Roman Empire.

@@emilycosgrove1656 The New Testament did occur during the Roman Empire, however, I imagine that the Jews might have had different clothing styles from the Romans. Also the Old Testament covers thousands of years and possibly many different clothing styles.

@@artbyjennyray True I was definitely thinking more new testament

I'd love to see that

In nearly all pictures I saw Jesus was wearing something very similar to a long tunic and Roman toga - well, He was a Roman citizen as well

They didn't. The urine was collected and used as a cleaning agent on laundry day.

Yeah!

Rock it anyway!! :) someone will appreciate it 💜🧿 “Fortune favors the bold!”

Americans have no fashion sense. Flaunt your style!

We don't want you back here

@@saragarofano6471 don’t worry I’m not coming back, there’s far better places to go in the world

@@saragarofano6471 shut up

oof lol

I doubt it would have retained the smell of the dye forever.

@@clobberelladoesntreadcomme9920: Not once it picked up the scent of the laundry fluid.

@@resourcedragon 😂I mean, you're joking but yeah surely they would have washed their clothes.

When I first read your comment, I thought you said horrible experience for the weiner

As a lover of Lingua Latina myself, I have to agree, they were on point.

Married men of today can relate

Public and private wear. People liked to dress well when out in public. In private they dressed comfortably.

Ayyyyy haha

And both crap, Queensland!

It was a bit warmer, in general, and more humid, in the Mediterranean region around 2-3000 years ago; along the littoral coast of Rome and a bit inland, it was vastly evergreen swamp, which remained, to an extent, until about a hundred years ago.

@@larapalma3744 Typical Aussie state & city slanging matches, no-one outside our country would believe we pit ourselves against each other as to who's the best state & who's got the best city. I'm an extremely proud New South Welshman (or Welshwoman so not to cause upset & being labelled sexist as 41yr old woman 😂) I'll say that Sydney isn't just the most beautiful in Straya but in the world & then the city & state that's the most unattractive is Melbourne & the state of Victoria as a whole. We could argue about it till the cows came home & still not reach anywhere near an agreement. I just feel soz for us being piggy in the middle with two loony states either side, altho I'd rather u Qlders over Victorians any day, at least our 2 states have our own unique rivalry & ways of life 😂 but sending love to my fellows Aussie mates💞💞💞

Obviously they design them for the very 1st timw

Damn u jesse j 😤

Phahahaha

And people think now is tough
