Statue of Livia Drusilla, wearing a stola and palla.
Palla is a traditional ancient Roman mantle worn by women, fastened by brooches. It was similar to the pallium that a man would wear. The shape was rectangular instead of semi-circular as with the traditional toga.[1] The garment is dated back to 3rd century.[2]
