Masculinity and Dress in Roman Antiquity Paperback / softback
by Kelly (University of Western Ontario, Canada) Olson
Part of the Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
In Masculinity and Dress in Roman Antiquity, Olson argues that clothing functioned as part of the process of communication by which elite male influence, masculinity, and sexuality were made known and acknowledged, and furthermore that these concepts interconnected in socially significant ways.
This volume also sets out the details of masculine dress from literary and artistic evidence and the connection of clothing to rank, status, and ritual.
This is the first monograph in English to draw together the myriad evidence for male dress in the Roman world, and examine it as evidence for men’s self-presentation, status, and social convention.
