other artifacts such as shoes, holding mirrors, etc. Hellenistic Era These styles stayed popular throughout the Hellenistic period as well as the Roman period.

It becomes unisex and is worn by people whether they are naked or dressed. In images, women were often represented with only slippers and a torque or necklace. The heavy necklaces of the classical era are now replaced by strands of beads and torques. Notes References Bonfante, Larissa. Etruscan Life and Afterlife.
