Most ancient statues do not show these stripes,
but this wall painting from a lararium in Pompeii
depicts both the tunica laticlavia and toga
praetexta.
13
Sometimes their tunics also left one shoulder
uncovered, as depicted in this mosaic of a man
named Frucius (whose narrow stripes indicate
equestrian rank) being attended by two slaves,
Myro and Victor.
14
Slaves were not inevitably dressed in poor
clothing, however Junius, the young kitchen
slave depicted in this mosaic, wears a more
elegant tunic and a gold neckchain.

Statues of the first empress Livia prominently
display her stola, even in this one whose head
has been lost, a close-up clearly shows the strap
of her stola.

  We do not know a great deal about Roman
underclothes, but there is evidence that women
wore a simple, wrapped loincloth (subligar or
subligaculum, meaning little binding
underneath) at least some of the time. Women
also sometimes wore a band of cloth or leather to
support the breasts (strophium or mamillare).
Both these undergarments can be seen on the women
from this fourth-century CE mosaic.

Gold coins (aurei) were often made into jewelry
a pendant with a coin of the empress Julia Domna,
a pendant with garnets and a coin of the emperor
Caracalla (son of Julia Domna and Septimius
Severus).
32
Silver was used less frequently, as in this
medallion with chain or this bracelet with a
portrait of a child.
