May 29, 2018 at 6:37 comment added Burki @AlexP I assume your information is correct. Yet, as i also wrote in my answer, the expectation of the public is a lot more relevant to the topic at hand than the actual facts. Still, thank you for your clarification!
May 28, 2018 at 13:33 comment added AlexP The ancient Grecians did not wear togas. The ancient Romans wore togas. Togas are just about as dissimilar from ancient Greek clothes as they can possibly be withing the general aproach to clothing favored by ancient Mediterranean nations. And BTW, a toga is made of 6 to 12 square meters of woolen cloth; it is very suitable for cool weather.
