Tables ( dr. Greek στολή ; stola ) - the ancient Romans have matron clothes: a tunic that was worn over the underneath of the tunic ( tunica interior ) and reached the ankles [1] . Like the clothes of a Roman matron, the table became a symbol of legal marriage ; " Femina stolata " was an honorable term worn by married Romans.
A frill called instita was sewn from below to the table; the neck opening was sheathed in purple rim. The sleeves of the tables reached the elbows and were not sewn, but fastened with a series of fasteners. If the inner tunic had sleeves, then the tables did not have them. The table was wrapped around a belt much higher than the waist, and a number of folds formed [2] .
The word "table" is borrowed from the Greek language ( στολή ) and originally meant all clothes in general, not only women’s, but also men’s. As women's clothing, the table became known no later than the Second Punic War (218–201 BC). When Tiberius (42-37 years) went out of fashion [2] .
