  1. She can wear short sleeves and wasn't forced to wear a corset, so in this way, women weren't has encumbered by their clothing as they would be in the middle ages and the decades afterwards.

  2. I am sorry…between the grease creme and the charcoal eyeliner…the model had a fondation done….thats not authentic ( just watch the color of her skin in that moments)…..sorry.

  3. I don’t believe the ancients blended out their eye shadow pigments. They combine pigment and oil, then paint them on with brushes to create perfect line edges not blended. In other words, distinct color edges and shapes.

  4. So they go to all the effort of braiding and sewing the hair in some elaborate style in the back then fail to film any of it. 🙄 WTF?

  5. Lanolin is still sold for nursing mothers. It help keep ta-tas from getting chapped from breast feeding. It’s well cleaned now. I’m guessing the Roman version was quite stinky

  6. Amber is certainly a knowledgeable experienced Fashion Historian, but her donning a Rosie the Riveter head scarf distracts from the interesting program. Also, it took awhile to understand her pronunciation of Roman to Raymon.

  7. I took 4 years of Latin, and an actual line from a Roman poet was “you spend time on your hair, to make it look like you just got up and didn’t spend any time on your hair.”

  8. I'm a bit late to the party here, having just discovered this channel and video, but Roman Britain is an interest of mine as well as historical hair and fashion! The final look is giving me goosebumps and I LOVE it! ❤

  9. For a fashion historian, she completely blundered the Julia Domna outfit. This is what a middle-class woman might have worn. The purple vertical stripe in the tunic is wrong for a non royal and an adult female. The palla is too thick. The wool would have been spun to lace weight, dyed and then woven, creating a lightweight garment. The palla worn by the model looks like a blanket.
    Julia Domna would have worn a heavy silk or wool stola, perhaps dyed entirely in purple and ornamented with embroidery. She would have also worn much more jewelry than a strand of pearls. Several thick necklaces, bracelets, bangles, armlets, and large earrings and rings in almost every finger.

  10. By looking at the finished image of the model, I now figure that Amber Butchart might also be using an ancient style for hair color and makeup. Those vibrant colors and simple and direct make up without the modern shading and contouring.

  11. I learned that the Roman baths weren't drained. People would do all sorts of nasty things in there.
    Guess it's better than never bathing at all

  12. Lanolin isn't smelly at all. It is very, VERY popular among women who breastfeed to soothe nipples, which might be the cheapest thing to buy it. 🙂
    I love it very much. If you EVER had dry lips, try lanolin. It's used in all the chapsticks, but using it pure is so much better.
