For my part, I've replaced optimism and believing the best of people by default with a grin and the absolute 100% certainty that if they cannot find a pig to fuck, they will buy some bacon and play oinking noises on YouTube.

Okay, what do I need?   :D

You have. I may let you go en stolate and I'll wear my sexy shiny Roman, and let Leln wear my rust peplos.

Yay! What will I need for accessories? Also, I'm not sure I have any period sandals though. Wait, what am I saying? We'll be in Boston, next to a fucking mall. And if we're going to Gaga this shit maybe I can find something in my closet that would work after enhancement with tinsel and such. Any ideas?

Not sure. I have a fair amount of Roman bling...You'll need fibulae for the Peplos, and gladiator sandals are very much in style again. If not, thin strappy flip flops are actually period (soleae).

Okay, I see a trip to Payless coming up for footwear. But we're trying to be as period as possible overall, not a hybrid of Roman with fucked up glittery stuff? I guess I'm off to research proper fibulae and hairdos.

Fact check on Roman Senate clothing please?

Tunic: Linen. Got.  

Toga:  Should be a natural color with purple (Red purple, not PURPLE purple) trim?  
Still looking for info on the width of the trim and fabric (linen vs. wool)

If you want authentic, it'll have to be the lightest wool twill you can find.

If you want almost-authentic, go with linen.

And yes, murex purple, not true purple, that's an indigo derivative and they didn't have access to it. As for trim width, no more than like 3-4 inches. There were strict sumptuary laws, and murex purple was fucking expensive.

Purple trim is always okay, entirely purple is impersonating Imperials or Gods...not to mention you couldn't afford it anyway.

Oh, and trim only one side of the fabric, not both.

Good advice, thanks.  I'll likely be serial assaulting every fabric shop in the state on Friday.

On the plus side, if I WERE stupid enough to do this, y'all would have free entertainment when I eviscerated some bastard with my bare hands.
