"This book is a treasure trove of information on dress and the art of dressing through
the ages of ancient Greece and Rome. There are exhaustive references to the authors
who wrote works in classical Greek and Latin on the topic." "While the focus is clearly
on Greece and Rome, there are also entries on the dress of other classical civilisations.
It includes entries on Greek and Latin terms, with equivalents listed together and
full descriptions and translations. As well as the garments themselves, this 'A-Z'
also collects a great deal of background information illuminating how and why garments
were made and used, revealing what they can add to our appreciation of the art and
literature that depicts them, and of the cultures that made and wore them." "Greek
and Roman Dress from A to Z is an alphabetized compendium of styles and accessories
that form the well-known classical image: a reference source of stitches, drapery,
hairstyles, colours, fabrics and jewellery, and an analysis of the intricate system
of social meanings that they comprise." "The entries range in length from a few lines
to a few pages and cover individual aspects of dress alongside surveys of wider topics
and illuminating socio-cultural analysis, drawn from ancient art, literature and archaeology.
For those who want to take their reading further, there are references to both primary
sources and modern scholarship."--BOOK JACKET
