ANONYMOUS – IVORY DYPTICH KNOWN AS “THE BOETHIUS”- DATING FROM 487 – BRESCIA MUSEUM
The Toga Picta, consular garment par excellence, is handed down from the late antiquity to the beginnings of the medieval period.
The rich gold embroidery and heavy decorations with precious stones to replace the drapery or “sinus” of the classic period, only allow a semi rigid lapel on the chest.
Worthy of notice are the embroidered toga sleeves and the sandals with crossed straps (guigge).
