Toga Night

 

The wrap is very important.  If not done correctly, everyone at the Baths with stare.
 
 

Nobility is an important factor too.  Where laurel is unavailable, Tamarisk will do...
 
 

...and where Plato is absent, Lindemann will suffice.  Study was
an important aspect of Roman life.
 
 

Philisophical discourse ensued.
 
 

As did The Dance and Arts of all manner.
 

Speeches were given...
 

Good Humours...
 

and merriment were known by all...
 

After all, the weight of civilization was upon their shoulders.
 

It was a time of celebration...
 

...for they were ruled by Women of Wisdom and Men of Sapience, or was that
Men of Learning and Women of Divinity, no matter, All was Well.
 
 

but All that Is Good cannot last, and soon barbarians invaded the land...
 

It is rumoured that the Visigoths, with the introduction of mounted warriors, finally
broke the back of the Roman Empire, but they are mistaken.  It was instead the
Flinstonian Boatmen who drew the Roman women from their Philosophers
and Statesmen, thus unravelling Civilization As They Knew It and plunging
the world into the darkness of the Inner Gorge Ages.
