The rich people in ancient Rome actually wore the same kind of clothes as the poor people. The styles were the same. The difference was in the quality of the materials. The wealthy could afford to wear the finer grades of wool, and even cotton or silk. They could also afford to have them dyed bright colors. The poor on the other hand, wore the coarser grades of wool and if they were dyed at all, they were generally a shade of either yellow or red, as those were the two cheapest dyes available.
