The image provides a glimpse into the fashion and culture of ancient Britain during Roman times. It highlights the influence of Roman customs on native populations and their adoption of certain clothing styles. The attention to detail in this engraving allows us to appreciate not only the intricate design of their costumes but also their significance within society.
