A young Roman woman wearing a Toga praetexta. It was traditional for very young people to wear this purple-bordered toga until they reached puberty after which they started to wear a plain man’s toga known as a toga pura or toga virilis. The dark coloured toga known as toga pulla was worn by people in mourning - Una giovane donna romana che indossa una Toga praetexta. Era tradizione che i giovanissimi indossassero questa toga bordata di viola fino al raggiungimento della pubertà, dopodiché iniziarono a indossare una toga da uomo semplice conosciuta come toga pura o toga virilis.
