Tacitus mentions that the women of Germany wear purple, and he doesn't make any other comment about it.

Quote:Neither does the dress of the women differ from that of the men, save that the women are orderly attired in linen embroidered with purple, and use no sleeves, so that all their arms are bare.

Germania, 17.
