In addition to the discussed passages, the term tunica talaris is found in Suet. Cal. 54.2 (The emperor Caligula as singer): cum palla tunicaque talari [with a 'peplos' and tunica talaris]. 70 For examples, see LSJ s.v. , and Amelung (n. 4) 2332-2333. 71 Corbeill (n. 38) 160. A similar common place is the accusation that the man's tunic is badly belted and therefore falls down too long. The most famous example of this is Caesar, who was called a male praecinctus (= cinaedus) by Sulla. See Suet. Div. Julius 45.2. 72 Lucian. Dial. Deorum [79] 15.2. 73 J. Heskel, Cicero as Evidence for Attitudes to Dress in the Late Republic, in: Sebesta/Bonfante (1994) 134; Edmondson (2008) 35-36. Cf. also Cic. Verr. 5.86: stetit soleatus praetor populi Romani cum pallio purpureo tunicaque talari muliercula nixus in litore [The praetor of the Roman people stood on the beach in sandals, dressed in a purple pallium and a tunica talaris and leaning on a little lady].
