Description

Explore a unique scholarly perspective on the intersection of social status and material culture in the ancient world. While clothing and gift-giving have been studied separately in Greek and Roman history, this Routledge publication examines them together to reveal how they functioned as a combined social force. This book fills a significant gap in existing scholarship by focusing specifically on the practice of gifting elite male clothing within late antique literature. By analyzing these texts, the work demonstrates how clothing gifts served to create and reinforce the social relationships that held ancient communities together. Readers will gain insight into how these exchanges helped delineate status and symbolized the structures of society. This text is an essential resource for students and historians interested in how material objects and social customs worked in tandem to define identity in the late antique period.
