Byzantine clothing

Clothing of the Byzantine Empire was similar to that of Ancient Rome. Rich citizens of the Byzantine Empire had very colorful clothing. It was layered and layered with a tunic and dalmatica. If you could feel some of the material, it was very silky and fine. Men and women both wore boots that were very sturdy when they ventured outside. The rich person's outfit was very ornate. The dalmatica was closed by a brooch that was shiny. The tunic was outlined with intricate embroidery. Women wore a stolla that was very sparkly. The headdress was attached with a headband that let the fabric flutter in the wind. Poor people wore a tunic, dark in color and made of coarse material.
