Rich women wore long tunics made from expensive cotton or silk. They also wore lots of jewellery and makeup, strong scent and elaborate hairstyles. They had specially trained slaves to help them dress. arrange their hair and put makeup on their faces.

When the Western Roman Empire was destroyed 476 C.E. it did not mark the end of Roman culture because, there was still the whole Eastern Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire stood even after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it helped form our lives today. Four elements of the Roman Empires still affect us today, like Architecture. Even today, we use things like domes, and arches. You can see these domes and arches in very famous buildings, like the Taj Mahal, The Capitol, and Florence Cathedral. The second element, is art. Romans have made mosaic, a common floor art that you can see in many places. The Romans also have started sculptures. There sculptures are different because, of how they would be more realistic.

As shoes women wore a combination between flipflops and sandals. Usually these shoes were made of leather. Romans were one of the first who wore underwear. So, these women wear a little underpants and women could also use a firm band that they could bound around their breasts just like a bra.

Throughout Roman history, there have been many changes that have taken place both in public and private domain. There was one group of people in particular who sparked very influential changes on Rome, the Greeks. Greece was highly respected around the Mediterranean in most of ancient history, because they were the more advanced society both socially and militarily.
