Classical in its strictest sense means "Greek and Roman" but the "classical world" has come to include not only Greece and Italy but Egypt, the Bible lands, Ethiopia, Assyria, Babylon and Persia: all the civilizations, in fact, which flourished between 3000 BC and the fifth century AD and which at one time or another came into contact with the Greeks, or fell under the sway of the Roman Empire. This book shows the costume of all these early peoples. - Introduction.

The clothing and ornament of Greek women signalled much about the status and the morality assigned to them. Yet this revealing aspect of women's history has been little studied. In this collection of new studies by an international team, ancient visual evidence from vase-painting and sculpture is used extensively alongside Greek literature to reconstruct how women of the Greek world were perceived, and also, in important ways, how they lived.

This is the first general monograph on ancient Greek dress in English to be published in more than a century. By applying modern dress theory to the ancient evidence, this book reconstructs the social meanings attached to the dressed body in ancient Greece. Whereas many scholars have focused on individual aspects of ancient Greek dress, from the perspectives of literary, visual, and archaeological sources, this volume synthesizes the diverse evidence and offers fresh insights into this essential aspect of ancient society. Intended to be accessible to nonspecialists as well as classicists, and students as well as academic professionals, this book will find a wide audience.
