peer agreement (net): +1[see my suggestion for the whole sentence] Explanation: I'll start with a suggested translation: "The heavy fabric version of the stola was the elegant robe that respectable Roman women wore when they went out." The stola evolved as the female version of the toga, which until the second century BC was a unisex garment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stola An Ausgehmantel is a robe or coat for going out in, with connotations of "stylish/formal". If you look at the rather more recent pictures here, it doesn't just protect you against the elements, it's a fashion statement, which is why I suggest adding "elegant". My Wikipedia reference says that the stola was a status symbol. http://www.ansichtskartenversand.com/ak/90-old-postcard/3836... http://picclick.fr/Barbie-Original-Pret-a-Porter-2961-Ausgeh... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2019-04-28 14:52:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This sentence makes more sense when you read what I assume is the previous one, which Inge asks about in the question before this. I think the author is likening the light and heavy versions of the garment to their modern equivalents. |

palla Explanation: https://www.martelnyc.com/ancient-egypt/stola.html this site covers women cloths in ancient times The palla was a woven rectangle made of wool that the matron put on on top of her stola when she went outside. She could use the palla in many ways, like a modern scarf, but palla is often translated as a cloak. A palla was like a toga, which was another woven, not sewn, expanse of cloth that could be pulled over the head. |

going-out garment of choice Explanation: A literal translation of "coat" is not required. This is about cultural, not technical equivalence. The stola made from heavy wool was the going-out garment of choice for respectable Roman women |
