As you were talking about black, I remembered a movie about Nero - I don't
remember when it was made, I guess in the 90s, but that's not so important. The
movie was really, really bad and the thing that got me into thinking was that
when somebody of tyhe emperor's family died, all people were then wearing black
as an expression of sadness. The thing is, I think I read somewhere that black
started to be a "mourning dress color" in the 16th century and that it was kind
of invented by one woman who's name I unfortunately don't remember. But that's
all a long time ago and I might be wrong. Anyway, does anybody know something
about that? Was it possible in Nero's period to wear a black mourning dress?
Many thanks
