Just feel like I'd be tripping all over the place with those robes. I think it's a good think I was born in the AP (after pants) era.

Funny enough, the Romans themselves didn't care too much for the toga. It was hot, heavy, and unwieldy. But it was like a suit - it was what you were SUPPOSED to wear on proper occasions.

They would have looked pretty silly lined up at the urinals with those things at the Colosseum.
