Roman headwear - Anonymous - 05-15-2003 Hi all<br> <br> Thank you for reading my bit. I am fed up with trying to grow my hair every year for the displays and the wigs get to hot so i have decided to wear a hat. a few years ago I remember seing a picture with a Roman cap has anyone else seen it and do you know its history.<br> Thank you Bricca <p></p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - richsc - 05-15-2003 I looked through Croom's book, as well as "world of Roman Costume" and found only the palla pulled over the head, and a hairnet. But I think I remember hats from another source, particularly a statue with a flat brim and cone, the woman's face covered with the palla; is that what you were thinking of? <p></p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - Anonymous - 05-18-2003 most hats seem to be worn by men- especially those involved in farming/fishing etc.<br> <br> got a picture from Tunisia of a woman[?] in some kind of headgear- it looks like shes wearing a pair of boxers on her head! <p><img src="http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.martin/forum/mark.gif " width="100" height="100" align="right"> </p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - venicone - 05-31-2003 some images of headwear both male and female<br> <br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/hat.jpg" style="border:0;"/> <p><br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/co.gif"/><br> <br> <span style="color:red;"><strong>[url=http://pub55.ezboard.com/btalkinghistory" target="top]Talking History Forum[/url]</strong></span></p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - venicone - 05-31-2003 <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/hat2.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br> <br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/hat3.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br> <br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/hat4.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br> <br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/hat5.jpg" style="border:0;"/><br> <br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/hat6.jpg" style="border:0;"/> <p><br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/co.gif"/><br> <br> <span style="color:red;"><strong>[url=http://pub55.ezboard.com/btalkinghistory" target="top]Talking History Forum[/url]</strong></span></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub27.ezboard.com/bromancivtalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=venicone>venicone</A> at: 5/31/03 8:03:05 am<br></i> Re: Roman headwear - venicone - 06-13-2003 Bricca<br> <br> From John Peter Wilds "Clothing in the North-West Provinces of the Roman Empire"<br> <br> <strong>Bonnet</strong><br> The wives of the Treveri occassionally wear a type of close fitting bonnet, rather like a bathing cap, which, to judge by the representations of it , must have been of a very light materiel. There are few certain instances of it, but it was probably in widespread use. A head from Neumagen is particularly helpful. The hair was wound round the head to form a roll above the forhead and ends in a neat bun at the nape of the neck. The whole is covered with a bonnet which reveals the contours of the coiffure beneath.<br> <br> There is also an altar at Domburg showing Nehalennia wearing a bonnet<br> <br> <strong>Headband</strong><br> A rich womans grave from Mainz possibly 3rd C AD yielded a hair band in gold-brocade which was discovered in position on her forehead. It is 30cm long by 6mm wide.<br> <br> Such bands were not the priveledge of Roman women only - a young girl at Windeby was blindfolded with her own hair-band. The woollen band in sprang technique was 49cm long by 3 cm wide and was fringed at both ends. <p><br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/co.gif"/><br> <br> <span style="color:red;"><strong>[url=http://pub55.ezboard.com/btalkinghistory" target="top]Talking History Forum[/url]</strong></span></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub27.ezboard.com/bromancivtalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=venicone>venicone</A> at: 6/13/03 5:29 am<br></i> Re: Roman headwear - Anonymous - 06-24-2003 hi again<br> Thank you so much,sorry it has taken so long to reply.<br> I can't wait to get started Thank you thank you<br> bricca <p></p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - venicone - 06-24-2003 hi Bricca<br> <br> what are you going to try out? let us knwo how you get on?<br> <br> <p><br> <img src="http://www.ttforumfriends.com/images/forum/co.gif"/><br> <br> <span style="color:red;"><strong>[url=http://pub55.ezboard.com/btalkinghistory" target="top]Talking History Forum[/url]</strong></span></p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - Anonymous - 07-02-2003 hi again<br> I want to try out the bonnet but would like to have a look at the book you mentioned but I can't seem to find it.<br> Do you happen to know the ISBN nom.<br> <br> yours Bricca <p></p><i></i> Re: Roman headwear - venicone - 07-02-2003 have found this:<br> <br> Wild, J.-P.
