Today we express aspects of our identity in our choice of clothing. This is nothing new: people in ancient societies made similar visual statements. "Reconstructing Personal Style in Late Antiquity" (focusing on the 4th to 7th centuries CE) uses textiles from the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology collection to explore the expressive potential of fashion in late antiquity.
