      Wearing a toga was an actual bitch.

      Like white tie but 10x more complex. There were slaves who’s sole purpose was putting on their master’s toga.

      Putting on a toga was difficult, not to say burdensome activity. The strip of fabric was folded lengthwise, one end was thrown over the left shoulder, a toga was placed over the back, the other end was passed under the right shoulder and thrown over the left shoulder from the front. To facilitate this extremely careful activity, richer citizens had a special slave for this purpose, called vestiplicus.

      Also… Zeus is Greek, the Roman equivalent would be Jupiter.
