    Why did the Romans ban pants (trousers) in 397...399...& 416
    May 27 2025

    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.
