Salvete omnes,
Has anyone got any pics or info on the colour robes worn by priests and priestesses around 1st/ 2nd century A.D.? There's lots of statues but these don't indicate the colour of the clothing.
'Modern' portrayals usually see them wearing white- but I've seen statues of Isis wearing dark/ grey black robes- was this adopted by followers of Isis? Also were there light or dark robes dependant on the offerings being given to the Heavens or the Underworld?
Also, were there female Haruspices? If so, does anyone know what they would have worn?
Thank you in advance
Jo
