Thank you very much Linda, for your very balanced reply.
I have been reading the book of Whitfield - there is very little erotica in it, maybe unusual for Americans but nothing unusual for us, Europeans.
I have in front of me the book of Prof. Dr. Hugo Blumner, published in 1911, Muenchen.
(I am quadrilingual) but can only find details of the regular women's clothing.
Going back to the era of the emperors, I do think that the Roman mob was already overfed with all sorts of game. What could be the addition of fully clothed females in the theater?
Or, as you say fitted out with a loincloth, licium or tunica virilis (subligar, subligaculum) and the strip of cloth to protect the breasts.
Quite difficult.
Prof. Blumner gives a wealth of information about the differences in formal clothing. No problem with that His book is about civilian life in Rome.
It is written in gothic lettertype, although my grandmother learned me to read it, it is time consuming. But I can read it.
Difficult subject and again, thanks for your straight reply.
