    The film "Tirant lo Blanc" takes place in the Byzantine Empire during the Ottoman invasion.

    Besides pillbox hats of the late military and brimmed straw hats of Greeks, what other hats existed in the Roman Empire?

    The trailer looks interesting, although the legionary uniforms are inaccurate and it looks anti-Christian.

    Yeah, and it would've be interesting to have James Gandolfini play Commodus.

    There's are some websites that consider SEPTIMVS SEVERAN as a Roman "Obama".

    Here's an example of a 6th century toga: http://www.german-hosiery-museum.de/geschi...n/Bild02-07.htm . I'm sure it's Byzantine.

    What would you say are the best books on the Late Roman Empire... preferably around the 5th century? Hopefully they got a lot of illustrations.

    What jobs did the aristocrats take besides senator, decurion, government leaders, or high military ranks?

    I think most rich parents would force their daughter to marry a guy they choose.

    Public Baths: who frequent them? Could anyone in the Empire afford to use 'em, or were they so expensive that only the wealthy were able to?

    Someone once told me that Emperor Nero would throw female slaves into the coliseum and let loose a pack of aroused dogs, and whoever survived this mass "orgy" would be granted their freedom. Is that true?

    It's very difficult to find illustrations of clothing during the LATE Roman period... back when trousers and long sleeves were more common. Could y'all help me out?

    From the stuff I read, a single low-income apartment room was peopled by a whole immediate family (parents, siblings, grandparents, maybe cousins, etc.). That's pretty crowded. So how do they sleep, and how do they change clothes, and all the other personal tasks?

    I'm new here, and I'm all about ancient history. I got a question... What did the Romans wear in their sleep? Did they have sleepwear?
