Here i am, making a fool of myself, I'm dressed in a toga. This is what was worn back in Rome during Caesar's time. I feel like this is representing both Brutus and Caesar because they both wore the white togas and it made them stand out from the other people, but then again it could just be because they were more "noble" and powerful, so therefore, they would be wearing the better togas. I think that the white togas meant you were wealthy, so maybe that's why they wore them, but i may be wrong.
P.S. i hope that Courtney and Scott enjoy this, they were my inspiration for this silly picture. :)
I think you're the first one to mention social status in an explanation. Awesome idea. You're idea was very original as well, and I agree with what you said. The "nobler," wore the "fancier," clothing.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right about the white togas, you look like a noble Roman in this picture. Questioning the social status was a great idea. Really nice job.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both Matt and Jessica. You saw this from a point of view many others wouldn't have seen. I actually think you are right. The wealthy probably had the lighter fabrics because they could afford to keep them clean! Haha, at least that's what I think. P.S. Cute picture! Good Job :)
ReplyDeleteThats an interesting thought
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is why they wore the white togas..
Nice job on thinking up of social class
That makes me wonder, is that really why togas are white, and not another color? Nice Job.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture! It was a great idea to use yourself as a main focus of the photo. It made me look at you as a citizen who is wondering deeply about this topic. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on referring to the color of a toga that might mean what social status your in. Your connection is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture! I thought this was very original of you, as Jessica had said. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBahaha. Very nice Nicole! I love your idea about the togas and the connections you made to J/C! Good job!
ReplyDeleteHaha nice picture and good idea it probably was like that poorer people probably just used rags for there clothes back then while the rich wore more elite, higher, and fancier togas, robes, etc.
ReplyDeleteCute picture !(: I agree with you the wealthier probably used lighter colors then the lower classes, good point and nice job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in that the wealthy most likely wore the brighter cleaner togas. I also liked how you included the social status.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture! I also love the way you connected to the play! Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery regal and elegant looking. I like how you incorporated and involved yourself into the whole ceasar-esque atmosphere by wearing one yourself and getting into the position.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jessica. You gave a pretty good explanation on the social classes that might of occurred during that time period.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great connection. I probably wouldn't have thought about putting this in! Great way to show us how everyday life was lived with your connection.
ReplyDeleteTogas were could be seen everywhere while we were studying Julius Ceasar, and I agree they were very important to Roman culture back then. Good job representing this in your picture and explanation, (and pose) XD
