Around a week ago, I went to the department of public safety to get my permit. When I was waiting for like five hours, I thought, how did Romans know if other Romans were citizens or not? I asked Dr. Morgan and she said that Roman officials would wear tunics to signify their citizenship. I found this very interesting because nowadays we have social security numbers, drivers licences, and countless other ways we can identify ourselfs as Americans compared to just wearing a different type of clothing.
