To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Caesar, we are told, had this slovenly practice ; and, it is said, that Sulla, alluding to this, advised the nobles, " Ut puerum male cinctum caverent." The colour of tho Toga, as has been already mentioned, was white (Toga alba) ; and when a person stood candidate for an office, it was usual to have his gown whitened, probably with a fine white chalk, whence Persius uses the phrase, " Cre- tata ambitio." Sat. v. 177. The gown, thus whitened, was named Candida, and the wearer Candidatus. It was... usual also, on holidays, to have the gown cleaned, or washed, by the fuller, in which case, the wearer was called Albatus — thus, — " Ille repotia natales, aliosve dierum, Fes-» tos albatus celebret." — Hor. Sat. ii. 2. 60.
The Toga was distinguished by the following varie- ties, the Prcetexta, the Pura, or Ptrtfw, the Picta, and the Ptt&i. These at least, are the principal varieties.
The Toga prcetexta, so called, from its having a purple border all round it, (Cui limbus purpureus adtextue esset y ) was worn by boys, and girls, the children of Ingenui, or of free-born citizens ; by the former, till they put on the Toga mrilis^ and by the latter, till they were married.
