It might sound strange today, but in the late Roman Empire, wearing pants could actually get you in trouble. Between 397 and 416 AD, Roman authorities issued multiple bans on trousers — a piece of clothing we now take for granted. But why? In this episode, we explore what pants represented in Roman society, why they were seen as a threat to traditional Roman identity, and how fashion became entangled with politics, culture, and even fear of the “barbarians.” Tune in for a surprising journey through the wardrobe of the ancient world — and what it reveals about a crumbling empire.
