Laticlave

The term laticlave indicates, in the ancient Rome, an honorary badge ( ornamentum ) reserved to the members of the senatorial Ordre.
It is composed of broad band Pourpre which covers vertically the Toge S Romans, the tunica laticlavia and by extension the “Laticlave” indicates the tunic it-même.
The term of laticlavii thus designated young people whom one intended for the order sénatorial.

Under the Republic, its use is more widespread and its hierarchical attribution seems to go back to Sylla. It was before only about one element of prestige, certainly hereditary, suitable for the class patrician and the aristocracy; it is probable that its origin is Etruscan.

The port of the tunic laticlave seems to be continued, stripped of its value first, at the time of primitive Christianity, as incites it to think certain representations of the Christ.
