Senators

Slaves
Senators ran the Roman government. Women were NOT allowed to be a Senator.
Patricians were the wealthy citizens. They come from a long line of rich families.
Plebeians are the commoners, or average working citizens of Rome.
Roman slaves came from other countries and had no rights. They worked hard doing dreadful jobs.
Examples of Roman Outfits

The slaves wore simple or dirty looking togas. Nothing fancy when you work all day.
The plebeians wore simple togas because they had jobs and had to pay taxes. They couldn't afford fancy clothes in bright colors.
The Senators can only be males. They belong to the wealthy class and have fancier clothing.
The Patricians are also wealthy and can afford rich fabrics in bright colors and accessories.
Just a few more examples of bed sheets and belts or ribbons turned into togas!
