Closet reenactment of a Roman woman (mostly priestess-inspired) :)

Indirectly Whovian regarding priestess-inspiration - Sybilline Sisterhood, for example :D

(Feminist disclaimer: I 100% oppose gendered modesty mindsets regarding clothing, and I’m not particularly into the fact that (married) Roman women were expected to wear the palla/a mantle/veil to cover part of their hair in public (or the fact that they couldn’t show their legs, unlike men). Regrettably, I quite like the aesthetic (100% devoid of any gendered bullshit) of mantles partly covering the head (never a full covering), and so this is for aesthetic purposes *only*. I also tend to see it in a more unisex priestess/spiritual-inspired way (many male priests use(d) to cover part of their heads in this way as well) The red is, of course, priestess-inspired (Sybilline or Karn sisterhood, anyone :D?) and not Roman-marriage-colours inspired :S)

XX ANNI - STORIA DI UN SOGNO Directed by ANGELO GUARRACINO https://vimeo.com/angeloguarracino http://www.legio-i-italica.it/

The greatest promotional video for a re-enactment group that exists (probably).

Have a watch and you may come to agree with me.

Digging Roman-inspired looks lately thank to that dress (which I have in four colous now xD), so here’s some casual closet reenactment of a Roman woman (mostly priestess-inspired) :)

(Feminist disclaimer: I 100% oppose gendered modesty mindsets regarding clothing, and I do *not* condone the fact that (married) Roman women were expected to wear the palla/a mantle/veil to cover part of their hair in public (or the fact that they couldn’t show their legs, unlike men). I am against that (not to mention against the patriarchal marriage system xD).
