Members of Legio VI Victrix, a historical reenactment group, will demonstrate how garments reflected Roman values, socioeconomic class, and historical changes during the Roman Empire.
After the show, visitors will have a chance to go “behind the seams” to visit a Roman ornatrix (hair dresser) and try on related costumes and props.
Roman Runway will take place on Saturdays, June 9, 23, and 30, 2012, and Sundays, June 10, June 24, and July 1, 2012, from 11am to 1pm, and again from 3pm to 5pm in the Getty Villa’s Education Courtyard.
Admission to the Getty Villa is always free, but a ticket is required. Reserve tickets online or by calling (310) 440-7300.
